Description

Master hand synchronization with Synchronicity, a groundbreaking seminar incorporating decades of Cracking the Code’s testing and teaching on this critical subject

If you’ve never deliberately worked on synchronization the modern way, it will be eye-opening when you realize just how structured everything is. A synchronized player executing a stream of fast pickstrokes on a single fretted note is NOT just hammering away on a tremolo with no knowledge of where they are in time. Far from it.

Players like Yngwie Malmsteen and Eric Johnson famously float over the beat while maintaining perfect hand sync through precisely regulated fretting and picking groupings. In Synchronicity we’ll show you exactly how this is achieved.

Synchronicity contains hours of structured study: 40 sequenced and super-watchable lessons; three realistic etudes in Latin, Jazz, and Rock styles; and 32 painstakingly curated rudiments for easy generation of novel practice ideas.

Is Synchronicity right for you? Watch the introductory section on the seminar page and find out!

NOTE: Synchronicity is brand new. Several lesson groups are already up: Introduction, Core Concepts, and Chunking the Picking Hand, along with the three etudes and all the rudiments. This is already over 40 minutes of the sequence. The remaining sections will upload over the next several weeks as we edit and export. Stay tuned!

Here's an overview of what's included with the download. For more detail, check out the platform page!
