It Might Get Loud!


Read this line out loud in a really deep movie trailer voice: If you only see one movie about guitars this summer, make it this one: 'It Might Get Loud'. Forget about all the other movies that may come out about guitars. This is the only one you need.
This documentary was produced and directed by David Guggenheim, the director of 'An Inconvenient Truth'. But the big story here is the stars of the show, pictured above: Jack White, Jimmy Page, and the Edge. The film brings these virtuosos together to discuss one thing and one thing only: the electric guitar. Candid discussions, studio out-takes, concert footage, all in the name of guitar worship from the point of view of 3 rock legends from three different generations. The people behind 'It Might Get Loud' offer this promise: watching the film won't affect how you play guitar, but it will affect how you listen. For any guitar player out there, this is a must-see. But you have to wait til opening day, August 14th. In the mean-time, change your strings. And comb the bottom of the washing machine for lost guitar picks.
Here's a link to the website and the trailer:
