About Guitar Cam Footage
Guitar cam footage captures the fretwork, pedal switching, and physical technique of guitarists in performance — details that are invisible from the audience. These clips are invaluable for players studying technique, and fascinating for anyone who wants to see how their favourite riffs and solos are actually played.
The 1980s in Music
The 1980s brought MTV, the synthesiser revolution, and the globalisation of pop music. Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, U2, and Run-DMC dominated the mainstream, while underground scenes — post-punk, hardcore, hip-hop, and indie — were building the foundation for the next decade. The explosion of home video meant more behind-the-scenes footage was captured than ever before. Tour documentaries, making-of specials, and backstage footage from the 80s reveal an industry in rapid transformation.
