Next month's Freebie Download:  tuning exercises with bass drone 
Player's hint of the month:  
When using a tuning drone, make use of a tuner and a tuner pick-up so you can isolate your intonation and see the results of your adjustments as well as hear them. 

 
Have fun playing! 
 
Sincerely,
 

John Gibson
