Sample recordings. These files are large, and suitable for downloading only if you have a "broadband" Internet connection. They were recorded at 64 Kbps, and will not "stream" through an audio player (e.g., Windows Media Player, Real Player, Roxio Audio Central Player) over a 56 Kbps dial-up modem. With broadband, when you open them, they will play immediately and continuously. With a slow modem, they will "start and stop" while the "buffer" fills. They are posted only on http://www.foundationwebsite.org (not on http://www.foundation.bw ). (These sample recordings are free educational materials to accompany the "How to Play the Guitar by Ear" article.)
