I ordered the download version this afternoon but could find no place to download it from. The phrases in red only lead to paying for it, which I did.

I expected when the receipt came thru it would give directions for download, but alas, no luck.

Anyone else had this problem and how was it resolved?

Sorry (and my flame suit is on), but if I could pick like this guy, there's no way I would do it in public dressed like that. This man's talent deserves far better than "backyard barbecue," and you can quote me.

I bought the DVD and it took about 3 or 4 weeks to get it as he stated up front. Doug is a straight up guy and if you contact him, he should resolve it. Waiting that long made me wish I had chosen the download option.

It is interesting to note that he is doing that picking with a flat pick, unlike the thumb pick approach Brent Mason uses.

Is he using the so-called "hybrid picking" technique (with flatpick and fingers), or is he doing just straight flatpicking? Thanks.[This message was edited by Tom Olson on 07 November 2005 at 11:16 AM.]

He is using his fingers too.

Frank. I hope Doug is as straight ahead as you say. I still haven't gotten the download.

I emailed him just now as to how I get the download. I hope tommorrow I'll have the answer.

I sent him an E-mail for you too. I think he is a one man operation and that means he is slower to respond. It took a while to ship a DVD to me, but the 3-4 weeks is as advertised.

Once the download issue is resolved, let me know. I'd like to get it for my son.

P.S. Who cares what he's dressed like. It's his playing not his fashion that he's selling. It's only $9.95 for the download. If it were $39.95 like most charge I'd expect a tuxedo.

I paid for the download online and was able to get a video file and a link to a page of tab. By saving the tab page HTML, you can get each run's tab as a separate file. The tab for the first run appears incorrect as it shows the double stop strings as the "E" and "B" strings whereas he is clearly playing the "B" and "G" strings in the video. Also the tab just shows the main portion of the run not the whole piece that he plays. By slowing it down to half speed in Windows Media Player I was able to get most of it. The latest WMP slows down the video without changing the pitch of the notes! Wish he had tabbed ALL the notes on the video or included the BIAB files he mentions on the video ( I didn't receive any BIAB files).

Despites the above problems it is still a bargain at $10. It takes outstanding athletic ability to play those runs at full speed and most of them don't have the right sound or impact if they are played slower. No you won't play as well as this guy even if he lays it out on video and tab for you.

The download info was waiting in my email box when I got home tonight..something about paypal not refering me to the download page as they should have.

At any rate I have it now and it's food for the thought as well as fodder for the fingers.

I'm a happy camper now.
