Guitarist Troy Grady hosts a web series called "Cracking the Code."

In each episode, he breaks down a phrase—or something awesome that he has learned or figured out—and then explains it in a detail-packed way that includes an information- and graphics-packed video.

In the recent past, we've shared two "Cracking the Code" videos dedicated to Yngwie Malmsteen's picking:

• Yngwie Malmsteen Lesson: Cracking the Code, Season 2, Episode 1: "Get Down for the Upstroke"

• Yngwie Malmsteen Lesson: Cracking the Code, Season 2, Episode 2: "Inside the Volcano."

Today we bring you Grady's new Paul Gilbert-themed lesson, "The Truth About Inside & Outside Picking."

"Chapter 24 of the Antigravity seminar explores the amazing Paul Gilbert and the often-misunderstood concepts of inside and outside picking," Grady says. You can learn more about Grady's Antigravity series right here.
