For years, players have sent us slow-motion footage of their technique with the same essential question: What am I looking at?
This question matters because every guitarist is also their own teacher. If you can’t tell what your technique is actually doing, you can spend years repeating exercises that never address the real problem. As Cracking the Code instructors, we developed this skill through thousands of hours of analysis of the players we interview, and players around the world who send us clips of their playing to review.
We designed Cracking the Code quizzes to train this exact ability. We built this groundbreaking new interactive feature from hundreds of carefully prepared videos and images drawn from our interviews. Every question features real playing examples, selected and organized with the same analytical process we use in evaluating technique.
The quizzes are fair, but they are not easy. We’re not trying to trick you – we’re trying to give you serious tools to evaluate your own playing.
