To order
: click on "buy now" and you are directed to Paypal to complete the
payment. Paypal will notify me and then I will send your order, with
an email to your Paypal email address. That email will contain a
dropbox link for the tabs and links
to the lesson video's.
So check your Paypal email if it's still valid or let me know a different email address (use contact form).
Note that I live in Europe, possibly a different time zone than yours. So I may be fast asleep at the time of ordering.
You can also order an individual Tab with lessonvideo from any Lesson or Artist Pack as well.
To order an individual Tab go to the top of the navigation bar for "Individual TABS and Lessons"
I've been often asked to make an all instrumental pack, so, here it it. The instrumentals #1 to 11 already featured in other packs though.
But I will add new instrumentals to this pack. They start with #12.
So once you bought the pack all the additions are free of charge. The tabs will be added to the dropbox.
So, sub to my YT channel and check the dropbox for additions (I don't send out notifications, why, see "Privacy" chapter in the navigation bar below).
