QUOTE Season 1 of Cracking the Code is a rocking documentary that recounts the story of virtuoso guitar amid the unprecedented flowering of technique in the ’80s. Across 8 episodes, and nearly 1.5 hours of analysis, it sets out the core technical challenges of the instrument — challenges which we’ll soon surmount in seasons 2 and 3. Just scroll down. Love the art style and the overall quality. Looks like it's gonna go into teaching picking or something in later seasons? They're doing a kickstarter-style thing to raise money; but I think it's all gonna end up free anyway. QUOTE The basic structure of the show is as follows:
Season 1 – Historical documentary + the roots of the problem: Why is guitar picking so difficult? Season 2 – Intensive mechanical breakdown of picking technique, with solutions to many of the problems outlined in Season 1. Season 3 – Interviews with players, including slow-motion footage analyzed using the system we develop in Season 2. |

Hi mate! I saw the trailer and it loos very interesting. It has been a great idea to create a documentary about rock guitar virtuosos. Let's see if these series become our bible.

Yeah, the way he teaches is great. Goes into just enough detail for a guitarist to understand; but keeps it interesting for any non-musicians.
http://troygrady.com/2013/12/24/behind-the...-eddies-arcade/ Here's him breaking down the theme song for the series. A lot of "here's what I did, this is how you can use it in your own playing." rather than just note-for-note teaching. |
