Hello.

Through Propellerhead Software, I was given a month free access to guitartricks.com, which I activated yesterday.

So far, I'm impressed by the available lessons and their quality. But the constant failure of pages to load makes it impossible to enjoy any of it. Most pages take a few minutes to appear, often only after a couple of tries and lots of patience. Sometimes the page only loads partially, showing only blank space below the red tabs. It did mark all failed pages as viewed.

Once a page has finally loaded, any video plays fine. I was trying the Rock Effects lessons and it would take up to 10 minutes to get to the next section (if at all) and each section has a video that plays for a minute or two.

As I noticed the "Download Video" buttons, I tried to download the video once I had managed to get to a lesson page. This sometimes worked but usually took a couple of tries and long waits. I did manage to download two of the videos but it took a lot of attempts, after which the website decided I am only allowed 15 tries a day.

So all in all I found no way get any work flow to these lessons at all.

Will access get usable when I start paying for a subscription? There's really a lot of interesting lesson material in there I'd like to get access to.
