You’ll receive at least two videos per song, one lesson and one performance-standard play-through. You’ll receive the chords/lyrics and guitar tabs as PDF files.
The videos are mp4 format and should play on PC’s, Macs and most mobile devices.
They will download as Zip files. If you don’t have a Zip program on your PC you’ll need to install one to open the file. I use Zipeg which you can get free, here.
If you want to download to an iPad or iPhone you’ll need an app to do so, please read here to know more about it.

Just wanted to first say thanks for everyone’s hard work, wow what a collection of beautiful music.
Question though, us it possible to hear a play through of whatever songs I might want to buy before I buy so I know if that’s what I want?
Just thinking outloud, some arrangements may not suite my finger style classical guitar that I play, I can tell that when I see the play through. Let me know, and again great job! Thx for all your hard work. Dave Justine
