Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About Video Courses/Subscriptions
How do I buy a subscription?
You can purchase a subscription by clicking on the 'Subscribe Now' button on any of the courses. This will take you to the subscription product page where you can choose either a monthly, 3-monthly, 6-monthly or annual subscription. Add to the cart and checkout as normal.
Does my monthly subscription renew automatically each month?
YES. You only need to purchase this once, it will then renew each month unless cancelled, which you can do at any time.
Can I try it for just one month?
Yes. Because you can cancel at any time, you can subscribe for as long as you wish.
Please be aware that if you cancel, your subscription will end immediately.
How often will new content be added?
New content is added regularly, according to Stuart's schedule. Sometimes additional exercises are added into existing courses.
I have purchased Stuart's books. Are these courses the same content?
In some cases they are (such as Giants of Bass), but not always. The benefit of a video course (as opposed to a book) is that new material can be added at any time. Stuart is always writing new exercises, and over time these will be added into existing courses.
Questions About Our Books
Why are some books perfect bound instead of spiral bound?
This has been done to improve durability and presentation. Now that they are perfect bound, they will be right at home on the shelf with your other music books.
I can’t find the song I want!
If it’s not included in the book, there’s a chance there may be a transcription of it in the Free Stuff section of the website. You’ll need to create an account for this (which you’ll do anyway during the process of purchasing a book), but once you have done so all the content is free.
Are individual songs available for purchase?
No. Copyright permissions for the songs do not allow for this.
How do I know the transcriptions are accurate?
Author Stuart Clayton has many years of transcription experience, and the testimonials included on each individual page - from both the artists and customers – speak for themselves.
Can you send me a PDF of the book I want?
We are unable to sell transcription books as PDFs due to licensing restrictions. However, many of our theory and technique books available to purchase in PDF format from the main menu. In addition, these books are also available digitally as Apple iPad books and Kindle books.
Questions about Shipping
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NON-UK CUSTOMERS: Now that the UK has left the European Union we no longer ship books outside the UK as shipping costs are prohibitively expensive. Instead, we have made all of our books available on Amazon worldwide.
Questions About Our Digital Books
I don’t have an iPad. Are these books available for Android tablets?
No - unfortunately. We’d love to make versions for Android users as well, but at the moment there is no software for doing so. If you have a Mac you will be able to view these books in the iBooks app, but there is currently no option for viewing these books on a Windows PC.
However, we have made most of our iPad titles available as Kindle books, which you would be able to purchase and read on any device. To check out our Kindle range, please search the Amazon Kindle store for ‘Stuart Clayton’.
Are any of your transcription books available as iPad textbooks?
No. This would require additional licensing from publishers, who are typically reluctant to license music for digital books due to piracy concerns.
