When you download from TrueFire you can do so their "normal", newer way which has you using their app. You go through downloading the TrueFire installer, etc. I'm sure this is how most do it. But there is also a route that allows you to download all the data files only. You then can play all the files with whatever video or audio player you want and transfer files to your devices to your heart's content.
Instead of going the "My Courses" menu option from the TrueFire website, click on "
My Dashboard" and then "
My Other Downloads". At the bottom you will see "Legacy Downloads". It's fairly obvious how TrueFire views this because they call it "Download your courses with the
Old Standalone Player". But when you do this you download a Zip file with all the course material. (Some courses have two files.) When you unpack the file you will have a folder structure that includes some different folders and files. One of the folders is named "Data". There is also one called "Guitar Pro Files" which includes what one would expect. If you open up "Data" there are four more folders and here is all the good stuff:
- Chart: All the pdf's with the sheet music for each lesson.
- Jam: The jam tracks in mp3 format for each lesson
- Tunings: an audio files for different notes
- Video: The video lessons in mp4 format for each lesson.
The files in every folder are intuitively named. For example, I am just about to finish up Corey Congilio's "
30 Beginning Blues Licks You Must Know". If I go in the "Jam" folder the files are "c30bbl-001.mp3, cc30bbl-002.mp3, .......cc30bbl-030.mp3".
I go into the "Video" folder and load into VideoSurgeon the lesson that I happen to be working on. I go into the "Chart" folder to get that lesson. I transferred all audio files from the "Jam" folder to my Boss eBand JS-10 to jam to it to complete the lesson.
