Going out to sea- suggestions on lessons to download

Howdy pickers.

I work as a merchant mariner and will be going out to sea for an extended period. I will have limited internet access but streaming Ben’s lessons may not be doable. I’m at the intermediate level and probably have approximately half of the checklist done. Any suggestions on which lessons to download to keep me busy in my spare time for about 4 months? Thanks? BTW, I’m a gold pick member.

Well, never mind I guess. I tried downloading lessons offline and I keep getting this:
Woah there, partner!

I’ve tried a few steps (using alternate browser, clearing cache, etc…) but it’s not working. If someone knows how to fix this, I’d be very grateful.

Hi @ambergkeith Keith. I do believe there has been an issue with downloading lessons for use with an offline browser since this current website was launched. All attempts to fix this issue were abandoned long ago @Mark_Rocka who worked on the BETA TESTING with me I’m sure will confirm this.

Since your heading out to sea with your computer, I would suggest you download lots of TEF Files.

This is what I would take if I were heading away for a while.

Alan Munde Fretboard Geography.
Ben’s Waypoints Lessons
6th Interval Banjo Backup.
Bury Me Beneath the Willow. Key Change Lesson C & G
Boogie Woogie Backup 1 & 2 from the Advanced Section
Lonesome Road Blues Advanced Section - Six Solo’s in one lesson, several are Up-The-Neck
Red River Valley Advanced Section Key Change Lesson C D & G

There is so much info packed into these lessons that will keep you busy whilst your away. Don’t shy away from the advanced section lessons I have listed. These will advance your knowledge and skills in ways that will amaze you.

Have a great trip. Merry Christmas

Thanks Archie. I put a bunch of TEF/PDF/Midis for some lessons and will add these. Agreed, this will be way more than enough to keep me busy.
