So does this include the digital version of the tab book as well?

Edit: and, of course, what file type are we talking about? Because quite frankly, the download limitations often cause pain and hassle.

Yes, a PDF version of the tab book is included. The documentary and lessons are mp4.

No worries. :thumbsup


.pdf version of the tab book would be nice. The book is too small to really read for me.

I'm so excited. I'm downloading the Story, right now. It was so easy to get through the payment and all (I'm using a Visa gift card to make the purchase).

I'm downloading both SD/HD versions. Cheers to Fret12 and AB for providing us the chance to get it. Fret12 sure knows how to get a product out in a timely manner unlike other organizations.

Edit: Awwww, snaps. I'm so happy. There was some good footage of them playing parts of Cry of Achilles at one of their UK shows. It sounded very good. It looked good too (could have easily pass off it as a Concert DVD footage quality if it had more cameras).

Question about the downloads. Does it use iTunes? And if not, can I download to more than one device? Such as my laptop, desktop, tablet, etc? Is there a limited amount of times I can access the download? Like does the link expire? What happens if I lose my device content and want to redownload it?

1) It's MP4, so it does use iTunes, among other formats.

2) Once you've downloaded the videos, you're free to transfer / duplicate / etc. to other devices.

3) I'm not sure if the link expires, but you can only download each video ONCE, so back those videos up. You lose them forever if you lose the videos. If your download gets interrupted, you will not be able to redownload the videos, which is what happened to me.

EDIT: Followed up with Fret 12 tonight and they immediately reversed the issue. Very cool. Can't wait to check out the doc!

Can anyone comment on how much difference there is between the HD and SD versions of the documentary? I have a bandwidth limit and not the greatest connection and I'm not going to be watching this on a huge TV, so will SD be good enough?

How soon after the order confirmation e-mail do the download links get e-mailed to you? I thought they would send DL links immediately but I've been sitting here for ten minutes and nothing yet...

Edit:

Coming up on three hours now... what is this madness?! :slam

I got 3 emails relatively quick - order from Fret12, download link frim Fret12, receipt from PayPal. Can you see whether your card or PayPal was charged?

And answering my own ?, the smaller file was great for watching on my laptop. I loooooove being able to watch anything with long shots instead if rapid as possible edits. I could see them play entire phrases! And see more than part of the guitar while they did! Loved it, straightforward info about the overall process and each song.

My card was charged. It's all good though, I e-mailed Customer Service and they said this is the third case of a Hotmail account blocking the second e-mail due to it containing a download link. Downloading now!

It's about $20 bucks to get the video files. Do it. It's well worth it and it's supporting a bloody good company that did a lot to get this product out in a timely manner (unlike a certain company). I don't even have a credit card and I had to pay an additional $6 to get the Visa gift card, at my local Vons, so that I can purchase this thing. I only bought the story version, but it's so bloody good.

Does anyone know why the hell I can't add money to my PayPal account? I've tried to do it twice and they send the money back to my bank account. I did the very same thing 2 years ago and there was no problem. I want to purchase S&TS but I can't because of that.

Are you doing it via a debit card? Expiration date on that maybe?
