        Can anyone suggest a method to copy lesson videos for later practise while away from internet service?
        We are spending more time at the lake away from internet service and i miss being able to practice with the help of videos.
        Thanks,
        Jace

          You can only download the YouTube videos Jace.

            Thanks Billy.
            Any suggestions on what program to use to download YouTube videos?
            Never tried it.

              Mozilla Forefox, then install the Videodownloadhelper plug-in. I spend quite a bit of time in a place with no internet, so my solution is this:

              (1) print out the lesson tab
              (2) watch Brian’s lesson videos, and make notes on the lesson tab (bend and hold, slide down here, palm mute here)
              (3) download the lesson’s MP3 files – both Brian’s demo and the jamtrack
              (4) From the demo MP3, listen to Brian play a lick, then read the tab and try to make it sound the same.

              One side benefit of this approach is that you get very good at reading tabs. I can literally sit down and play a lesson off the tab, if I’ve gone through it a few times.

                I will add to what Steve said –

                If you download the Lesson’s mp3 file and play them with the VLC player or a program like Riff Station, you can loop certain portions as you are working on them and/or slow those parts down as needed.

                I posted the steps needed to set up the VLC player so that you can slow playback down in 1% increments so you can tailor it to your requirements.

                  Vlc player will also let you record whole or part videos and will loop sections too
