FAQ

Common questions

The educational content on the site is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced level players.

Currently we have over 50+ individual modules with new content added every week. There is also an extensive library of PDF transcriptions.

Our content includes lessons, talks, masterclasses, courses, transcriptions, performances, playalongs, and more.

New content is added every week, in addition to the two monthly livestreams and the monthly “Tune of the Month” content.

This platform is working to become the central hub for all of Tim’s educational content. This website is primarily built around new content, however, content from Tim’s truefire community and patreon are slowly being integrated into the site. Here, they will be upgraded to feature the soundslice player and contain full transcriptions. They will not be leaving those respective platforms if you prefer to access them there.

We have a 14 day refund policy for any valid or extenuating circumstances. Given the hundreds of dollars of downloadable content, we are unable to offer refunds without valid reasons and without monitoring the activity of the account in question.
