Each episode is five minutes long and focuses on a single song. For now, Rao's own at Indian Ocean. He breaks the 'guitar playing' down, from inspirations to technique and all the way to band anecdotes from the time it was recorded. Future episodes will have Rao do the same for new releases and former band member Sushmit Sen's compositions.

Rao talks directly to the camera, cracks jokes (some lame ones, too) and tries to maintain a balance, for both musicians and fans. "That's what took the most amount of work," he says talking about the possibility of a show for musicians in the future. He switches with ease, from Carnatic ragas to metal, peppered with musical trivia.

The show itself is conversational and interspersed with demos of everything he discusses. He asks for feedback and questions in earnest. And this is what Guitar Hang has going for itself, besides Rao's known deftness with the instrument.
