All lessons are FREE to download without any registering, paying or
any catches!
For best results with pirinting, print our at medium of high
quality. If the document is hard to read, try a higher print
quality.You may want to download the
lessons to your hard drive or listen/view them without downloading.
Either way is easy. Choose a folder from the lessons main
page;
Fig 1
Here we have gone into the Hand drum tutorials
folder. Here you will find a list of available lessons, as
below, all absolutely free to download, without the pain of paying
or registering for anything.

Double left clicking on one of these items will
open up the lesson. In this folder the lessons are PDF format. (Other
folders also have audio and video lessons but the procedures will be
the same.)
The PDF reader will automatically open and the lesson will begin
downloading. This may take a while because some of the images
are good resolution for clarity. Be patient and bear in mind
that all lessons open in a new window so you can minimise it and
look at something else while you wait.
To read the PDF files, download the acrobat reader from Adobe, free
When the lessons load they will look something like
this;

If you choose an audio or video file then you will
end up with Real player or Quick time to view/listen to the files.
Again, these are always in a new window so you can browse elsewhere
whilst they are downloading. Some of the files are large so
will take a while to download, esp on the free tracks section of the
audio page.

Alternatively you might want to download the files to
you hard drive for future easy reference. I would recommend this.
Simply right click the lesson and select 'save target as' as below.


Then a brief downloading box will appear on the
screen;

This window is quickly followed by the window where you will choose the
destination location on your hard drive for the lesson you are about to download. Here
I am saving it in the 'invaders folder' on my hard drive. Make
a folder and name it ''Pete Lockett lessons' and save the
lesson in there, within another sub folder if you think you will be
downloading a lot of different ones. You can re name the
lesson but I would suggest you do not do this as it will
confuse the order of the lessons when you download more of the same
series.

Thats it. You can then access the files from
those folders without being on line or on my web site. The
'right click' - 'save target as' procedure is the same for audio or
video files so as long as you have the space on your hard drive, you
can save them all. A good tip is to get a good system of
folders so it is all easy to locate.

Pete in a swirl!
