When you have purchased your download and clicked 'download' you will be promoted to save a .zip file. This folder needs to be saved and then extracted first before you use it. After the file has been extracted click into a few of the folders and you should find your tabs in .PDF and .PTB formats (sometimes in .GP, .GP5, .GPX formats too). Enjoy!
This will be because your country is selected incorrectly. Update this and the error message will disappear.
If you have the option, try using a different device (maybe a phone or another computer) to click the confirmation link. If this fails try right clicking on the link and pasting it into your browser (we advise Chrome or Firefox). If you still have trouble, drop us a message.
When you sign up for the trial we let you know when the first paid membership payment will be made. If you’re not interested in a paid membership after the trial you will need to cancel the trial before the 14 days are up, else a payment will still be made. We advise that you cancel the subscription to prevent renewals but then make the most out of the remaining membership time you’ve paid for.
This will be because your address details have not been filled out, or may be incorrect. Please check that your address and Country are correct.
You have unlimited attempts to download each product, so try again! If your purchase was a boxset you can also download each product from within the boxset individually.
Because of the electronic (non-physical) nature of our products, we can unfortunately not give refunds for mistaken purchases or issues of personal taste. If issues beyond your control completely prevent you from downloading your purchases, we will offer a full refund.
We have several high end and modern server nodes on our network distributing content to various sections of the globe. Your specific download speed will vary depending on where you are located in relation to our nearest server and also how your ISP is routing your web traffic. Sometimes maintenance/damage on under sea cabling can cause your ISP to re-route your traffic via an inefficient route.
As we’re unable to affect how your ISP routes your connection, our best advice is to reset your router, then browser cache and try the download again or leave it overnight to finish.You can also perform a trace route to jtcguitar.com and then copy/paste us the information this will give us a rough idea of which routes your connection is taking to get to us and how long each step takes (so we can isolate the hold up). If you can also visit this site: https://www.whatismyip.com/ and tell us your external IP address, this allows us to test the connection back to you again to see if the problem is in the other direction.
The files will automatically download to the default download location on your computer. This is usually the desktop, but you can check by looking in the preferences/options for your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome or whatever).
If you can’t see the files, you can use your computer’s built-in search facility.
Mac -- Open Spotlight by clicking the magnifying glass icon in the far right of the menu bar. Enter ‘.zip’ as the search term and click ‘Show All’. By clicking the ‘+’ icon at the top right (next to the ‘save’ button) you can specify files that were created or modified today.
Windows -- Select ‘Search’ from the Home menu. When the window pops up, select ‘All files and folders’. You can then search for the term ‘.zip’ and select today’s date.
Remember… when you download our products, they arrive in compressed ‘zip’ format to make the download faster. You MUST open the zip files first. On a Mac, simply double-click; on Windows, right-click and select ‘Extract here’.
When the zip files have been opened (large files take a few moments) you’ll see a new folder with the same name as the zip file. This is the product you bought, and this folder will contain your jamtracks, Tab, videos or whatever. You can now safely delete the original zip file… or perhaps store it safely as a backup.
Our audio tracks are in mp3 format, mostly encoded at 320kbps. We feel that this is the best compromise between sound quality and download speed. There are plenty of options for playing mp3 files…
iTunes - www.apple.com/itunes Winamp - www.winamp.com
are the most popular, and they’re free.
In the File menu, select ‘Add files to Library’ in iTunes or ‘Add media to Library’ in Winamp, then navigate to your downloads (remember to open the zip files first). You can import all mp3s or select individual ones. All of our audio tracks have complete ID3 tags, so they will be displayed with artist, album and track information.
All of our Tab transcriptions and lesson notes are in PDF format. This universal format can be viewed in Acrobat Reader (Mac/PC/Linux) or Preview (Mac only).
Our newer releases also come with GP5 (Guitar Pro) files and older releases are in Powertab (.ptb) format. The Powertab Editor program (www.harmony-central.com/Software/Windows/powertab.html) is only available for Windows, but it has a MIDI playback facility so you can play the notes (with a synthesizer sound) and you can adjust the tempo for more effective practising.
Mac users can open the Powertab files adequately with Tuxguitar (http://tuxguitar.herac.com.ar/. If you prefer to use Guitar Pro (on PC or Mac) this program can very easily import Powertab files into .gp5 format.
