All About The TEFview Files

Every tune lesson here at fiddlehub.com includes two digital files for download in addition to the video, sheet music, and audio downloads.

The Fiddle File:  The first file, which has the word "fiddle" in the title along with the name of the tune, plays the tune on your computer in a synthesizer format in exactly the same arrangement that I cover in the videos for that tune lesson.

The Guitar Accompaniment File:  The second file, which has the word "guitar" in the title, is guitar accompaniment for the tune, also in synthesizer format.   This music is designed so that it fits together with the tune lesson arrangement. The purpose is to provide guitar backup for you that you can totally control, play at any speed you want, and have available whenever you feel like playing.

You Control The Speed. You'll find these files included in your download, along with the other files that come with each video or audio-only tune lesson you buy.  They are identified by the ".tef" extension.  Both of these files allow you to speed up or slow down the music, without changing the pitch.  They also let you highlite any portion of the tune you want for repeated (looped) playback.

You Need Special FREE Software.  To play these files on your computer, you need some special FREE software that you probably don't have already.  If you're pretty computer savvy, and handy at downloading, installing, and learning new software, you can right click on this link, tefv.exe, download the file to your computer and install the program.  Or you can get the installation file directly from tabledit.com by following these steps:

• Go to tabledit.com,
  
  
• Click on "download" in the left column,
  
  
• Select the mac or pc version of this file:  TEFview Free TablEdit File Viewer,
  
  
• Download the file and install the software on your computer,
  
  
• Oen the files I provide to you in your new program.
  
  

If you don't feel confident going that route, or if you just want help in how to run the new software, watch the video above.  There I talk you through the details of the entire process, step by step.   It's best to view this video in full screen mode.

Be sure you install this free software and take advantage of these learning aids. They're an important part of each fiddlehub.com tune lesson and they really enhance the learning experience.
