It Might Get Loud!

March 28th, 2009 No comments

A new documentary film takes a close look at 3 guitar players from different generations. The tag line is: “A Documentary on the Electric Guitar From the Point of View of Three Rock Legends”.

Who are the 3 players? The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White!

it-might-get-loud-jamIt Might Get Loud” covers how each of the guitarists first got started playing guitar, who their influences were and how they got together with their respective bands

There is an exclusive review of the film at www.musicradar.com.

From the official web site… “It Might Get Loud” isn’t like any other rock n roll documentary. Filmed through the eyes of three virtuosos from three different generations, audiences get up close and personal, discovering how a furniture upholsterer from Detroit, a studio musician and painter from London and a seventeen-year-old Dublin schoolboy, each used the electric guitar to develop their unique sound and rise to the pantheon of superstar. Rare discussions are provoked as we travel with Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White to influential locations of their pasts.”

The film’s Official Web Site has limited information, but I promise to keep the blog updated as new news becomes available! The film is set to release on August 21, 2009.

Bonamassa – Studio Footage

Joe Bonamassa, the 31 year-old kid from Utica, New York, has been playing professionally for over 20 years. He is a true “Guitar Hero”, and in my opinion…plays the blues as well as anybody ever has.

Check out this studio video from the recording of “Stop!” — my favorite track from his latest CD titled: “The Balad of John Henry”, which was released in February:

This is an amazing photo of a guitar shop in Southampton, England. The owners decided to give their store a Fender amp tribute.

gs1 When the security shutters come down at night the store looks like the largest “Fender Super Champ” amplifier in the world!

“The Guitar Store” has become an Internet sensation after a photo of the shop appeared on Flickr and a dozen or so guitar related web sites and blogs.

Click on the photo to the left to visit “The Guitar Store” web site. Send them an email and tell them that you read about ‘em on TheGuitarBuzz.com! (Thank You…)

Oh…one more thing…look close at the knobs…they go to volume 11! I sure wish mine did that!
