Description

Strunz & Farah have been making beautiful music together for almost 40 years.

From their debut album Mosaico, which showcased blazing nylon-string flatpicking lines from both players, to their world music breakout successes Primal Magic and Americas, the duo has taken virtuosic harmonized hooks and wrapped them in an atmosphere of modal mystery. But it’s not just fretboard flash. Their undoubtedly fearsome feats of dual-guitar mastery are bound together by a sense of lyrical lead writing that is strong enough to linger long after their songs have finished.

And it really says something that after all this time of writing and playing at this level, they’d still be interested enough in the details of how it all works to sit down for a Cracking the Code interview. What resulted was a fascinating hour-plus investigation of their surprisingly different, yet musically complementary mechanical approaches.

The interview is accompanied by six chapters of analysis and tutorial, covering topics like upward pickslanting, swiping, and the technical influence of John McLaughlin.

The Strunz & Farah Interview includes the 80-minute interview, six analysis chapters with over an hour of in-depth technical tutorials, 50 slow-mo video examples, and complete tablature in Guitar Pro PDF.
