In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: While rare, it's possible that the manufacturer made an error when producing your strings. Intonation may also be affected by old, worn out strings. Before adjusting your guitar's intonation, make sure that the bad intonation is being caused by your guitar and not your strings. A luthier is a person who specializes in repairing stringed instruments. Because an acoustic guitar's saddle doesn't move, you can't simply tighten or loosen screws as you would do on an electric guitar. If you value your acoustic guitar and don't want to damage or destroy it, take it to a certified professional instead of trying to modify the guitar yourself. A luthier will be able to adjust neck and bridge to affect the action of your guitar, file nuts down, and replace the bridge completely if need be. These are all things that should be handled by a professional. Even if you have a cheaper acoustic guitar, it still may be worth it take your badly intonated guitar to a luthier rather than attempting to fix your guitar yourself and breaking it. Replacing your guitar's saddle can fix the intonation. To do this, remove all of the strings from your guitar. Use needlenose pliers to loosen the saddle from its casing and carefully pull it from its hole. Then, push your new saddle into the saddle hole firmly to secure it. Once it's in place, restring your guitar and tune it. Before replacing your saddle, make sure that you measure the length of your existing saddle so you can get the right size.
Summary: Try to use different strings. Take your guitar to a luthier. Replace the guitar's saddle.

Distractions can inhibit your ability to focus and develop any skills. Learn or study the skill in a quiet, controlled environment with minimal distractions like loud noises, electronic devices, or anything else that inhibits your ability to concentrate. Try not to multitask while you're learning a new skill. The more concentration you can give to something, the more time and brainpower you can devote to it. If you want to listen to music while learning, choose instrumental music. Music with lyrics are much more likely to distract you from your task. If you give your brain too much information at once, you may become overwhelmed and have a hard time memorizing it. Instead, learn about the new skill in small, easy-to-digest partsa chapter or specific skill at a time. If you want to get better at math, for example, focus on one mathematical principle a day to build your knowledge over time. Don't cram yourself with information if you're getting better at something for an exam. Spacing out your learning will help you develop a stronger grasp of the topic. While learning something new, try to relate it to something you've already practiced or mastered. That way, your brain can translate the skills you learned from the first topic while learning the second. If you're learning to sew better, for example, think about the finger dexterity and attention to patterns you may have learned from knitting. If you're having trouble focusing while you learn the new skill, pinpoint something about it that interests you. Use the parts that you find intriguing as motivation to spend time learning the skill. If you're learning to play the piano better, for example, use music sheets for songs you enjoy to practice. After studying a skill, write down 5-10 questions that capture important elements of the new task or concept. Try to answer the question without any outside help to solidify the topics in your brain. While learning how to sketch, for example, write down a few questions about key art principles, common drawing mistakes, and techniques for improving your sketching skills. If you're learning from a textbook, check for practice questions at the end of each chapter. These questions are usually formulated to teach you key elements about the concept.

One-sentence summary -- Reduce the number of distractions while you're learning. Break learning the task into parts. Connect the information to something you understand. Focus on what excites you about the new skill. Ask yourself questions after learning about a topic.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a vegetable brush to scrub the potato skins thoroughly to remove any dirt. Since you won't be peeling the potatoes, it's important to get the jackets clean. If you want the jackets to have a crispy skin, make sure the potatoes are completely dry before baking. Make 8 to 12 holes all over the potatoes. This will allow moisture to escape during the cooking process. Rub the jackets with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt. This will bring out the flavor of the skins. You can skip this step if you don't like to eat the jackets. Place the potatoes directly on the center rack of the oven and let them bake for about 1 3/4 hours to 2 hours, depending on the size. The potatoes are ready when the skin is crispy and the interiors are soft when poked with a fork. You may want to place a baking sheet under the potatoes on your oven's lower rack to catch any drippings. If you prefer soft jackets, wrap the potatoes in aluminum foil and poke holes in the foil before placing them on the rack to start baking. Slit each potato in half lengthways. Use a fork to fluff the insides. Add your favorite toppings, like a generous knob of butter, a scoop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chives. Serve immediately. Jacket potatoes are excellent as a side dish or an entire meal. To make your potatoes into a meal, top with chili (either meat or vegetarian) or roasted vegetables. For a delicious twist, try jacket potatoes with smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers.

SUMMARY:
Preheat the oven to 375F (190C). Scrub the potatoes. Dry the potatoes thoroughly. Prick the potatoes with a fork. Season the jackets. Bake the potatoes. Serve the potatoes.
