I can't buy it from my country's iTunes Store, but in the trailer he just said same things (and I mean SAME things) like in this video:

 

honestly I don't think there'll be some radical and new things, same eggs as before, but from the different side. But interesting nevertheless!

Last night, on my local Public Broadcasting Network station here in the States, they started airing this series on Thursday nights.  It seems to be an interesting show, but haven't progressed to the point of seeing Mark on it yet, just how electrification of music came about, and the individuals involved.

I stand corrected.  Just got a schedule for the next week, and it will air tonight, then not till Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights.  It is an 8 part series, so I'm not sure if I missed some of the episodes or if it will continue into next week.  In some locations, it may have started airing on the 14th rather than on the 17th.

Seems you can watch on the PBS website but maybe only in the States? Hopefully some clever person can download MK's episode for us. :)

Looks like this series might be airing in the UK (cable and satellite) on the 'Sky Arts' channel. At least there is a series called 'Soundbreaking' which begins tonight at 8pm. Hopefully this is one and the same.

Done a bit of research and it appears this series was first aired on Sky Arts earlier in the year and the whole series is available in the UK on the Sky Go on demand service

I've skimmed through a number of episodes and the only contribution from Mark that I have found is a very brief slot in episode 8 where he talks about "brothers in arms".

The iTunes download (USA & Canada only?) is for the unedited series, so I do wonder if the section with Mark demonstrating different guitar techniques was left on the cutting room floor from the broadcast shows

So what's up with this? Amazing distribution these days, I'm willing to pay for the movie, but it's US and Canada only!

Great, so maybe I can buy a DVD or a Blu-Ray with Mark in bonuses? HE'S NOT THERE. Mark is only in US and CA iTunes. Damn!

So apparently, if I want to watch Mark talking about guitars, I need to relocate myself to US and pay 20 dollars to watch 1 bonus. Ouch...

I even can't get it if I'd ask my US friend to gift it for me via iTunes Gifts, because what?

Quote from: Apple
Gifts are only redeemable in the country they are purchased in.

So if someone somehow would manage to get it, please share it with me, there's no way I can get this thing legally.

Thank you for the link! Although Mark is in Season 1 Bonuses only and bonuses obviously isn't for airing or DVDs which is ridiculous.
