Is it really worth it? I am a new subscriber and my funbox offer ends tonight. I play mostly acoustic so not sure if the jam tracks will be that useful. I pretty much have the other stuff.

Heres the thing. I did not get it and that ticked me off lol. Apparently half the guitar tricks emails go to spam and half to my regular email. I checked the spam toady (first time in a year) and apparently I missed out on the box deal and on the 1 yr for 99 bucks. That really sucks cause it would have really helped i my particular financial situation. I had some of that studd too but for the price, it is always good to have a backup. not to mention, my son could have used it too!. Hopefully deals like that will come around again soon!

Sorry to hear you didn't get the email! We are ordering more Fun Boxes and will do another flash sale when we can.

Well since no one addressed my question, I went ahead and got the box. How do I get the guitar tracks?

You should see instructions on the back of the box, which give you a URL to go to. Do you see that?

Yes I went to the link and successfully downloaded the chord theory magic and the builder's toolbox. However, none of the jam tracks files work. I download them, but when I click on the zip file it says: "unable to expand "GT-BluesBackingTracks.zip" into "Desktop" Error 2- No such file or directory".

I ordered it as well, but I am having the same issues. I can download the files, but they will not open. Same error.

Bummer, sorry to hear about that. Have you tried using a download manager to get them? Sometimes when you download large files on a slower connection there can be an issue where files don't completely finish downloading but you can't tell until you try to open them and get an error. I have had that issue before. But when you use a download manager they usually work, because if there's a temporary connection issue they pause and resume downloading when possible. The one I use is a free extension for Google Chrome, but there are lots of options that work.

Give that a try and let us know if you get a different result?

I tried re-downloading them via Chrome this afternoon and managed to get them all. Got error messages a couple times but re-loaded and it worked. ZZSmilieZZ I briefly checked out Country track 1 and it's very well done and fun to strum along to. I am wondering if there are any chord charts for the tracks, or if we are supposed to figure out the chords by ear (which I can do, and which is actually fun)?

I'm so glad you got them working! We don't have chord charts for the tracks right now.

What thickness picks were included in the FuinBox? And what material are they made from? Those were the Guitar Tricks white ones.
