Interviews

We’ve spent years filming elite players, documenting their amazing techniques, and using that experience to help the rest of us get a better handle on our instruments.

Cracking the Code’s pioneering use of slow-motion video to film world-class players was the first systematic attempt to understand and categorize the different picking motions great players make.  The footage we’ve captured with our high-speed cameras provides a rare and unprecedented look at how technique really works at the upper levels of mastery.  We’ve augmented that fieldwork with conversations with researchers in related disciplines like motor learning, biomechanics, and psychology, to help understand how that mastery is acquired and maintained.

Our interviews contain thousands of real-world examples of technique in action, along with clip pages featuring slow motion video, live Soundslice tablature, and downloadable tablature files.
