BROWSER COMPATIBILITY


The site is best viewed with Netscape version 4.0 or higher or Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. These browser versions or their subsequent versions are standard equipment on almost all modern Windows- and Macintosh-based computers.
PLUG INS


To experience all of the site's features, you should have Macromedia's Flash version 5.0. The site can be viewed without it, but will then operate without certain multimedia features. This plug-in can be downloaded free from Macromedia's site at www.macromedia.com.

VIEWING PDF LESSONS


The PDF Files are best viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0. For Best screen quality, select the "smooth line art" button from the preferences menu within version 5 of Adobe Acrobat Reader. The site will detect whether you have Adobe Acrobat or not and prompt you to download it if you don't.

WATCHING VIDEOS


To watch a video using a Windows-based system we recommend Windows Windows Media player version 7.0. PCs have long shipped with the Windows Media Player (WMP). When you select WMP, your system will automatically open your player and will automatically update your files if you have a previous version so that you can view the video.

With a Macintosh computer you will want to watch video clips using QuickTime. We recommend Apple's Quicktime version 5.0. Again, Macintosh systems have been shipping with QuickTime for almost forever, and your system will prompt you to upgrade if you have an older version

LISTENING TO MUSIC


All music files are MP3s. When you select an MP3 you system will automatically launch your default player, most likely, the Windows Media player on Windows-based systems and Quicktime for Macs. You can choose any mp3 compatible helper application to listen to the mp3 files.

FENDER PLAYERS CLUB SKIN


You can download a custom Fender® players Club "skin". if you have a Windows-based system. When you choose to download this skin - which is simply a new graphic faceplate for your player - your system will open Windows Media Player. You will then be prompted about whether you want to download the skin and whether you want to activate the skin. If you reply yes to these prompts, the system will add the Fender Players Club skin to your library. You should know that if you opt for this cool skin, it will become your default skin for all Windows Media applications - you can always change it though.
