Description

Rusty Cooley is not just a pioneer of technical guitar playing, but also of guitar technique investigation. He occupies a special place in Cracking the Code history as the first player to test each generation of our slow-motion technology: the original computer-controlled ShredCam, and the earliest version of our smartphone-powered Magnet.

For this three-interview retrospective, we went back to the original master tapes and files, in some cases over 20 years old, to produce a completely remastered edition with hours of new footage:

Rusty Cooley 2013 – A 1.5-hour discussion with a massive 150 musical examples
Rusty Cooley 2005 – A 1-hour discussion with 48 musical examples
Rusty Cooley 2003 – A fun collection of the six original pocket camera recordings that began the story

The complete set is over two hours of interview time and over 190 musical examples with tablature.

*** The interviews and musical examples are ready to watch, but we’re still working on notation, which may take another 1-2 weeks ***
