WIRED FOR SOUND A GUITAR ODYSSY, subtitled THE AMAZING STORY OF THE GUITAR, features some of the "Guitar Gods" of the 20th/ 21st century: Scotty Moore of Elvis Presley's Blue Moon Boys, Chet Atkins, Les Paul, Hank Williams Jr., not to mention Rock and Roll performers like Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones and Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins...
They talk about the guitar as an instrument itself, and there is plenty of historical film footage and interviews in this one! There's a visit to Orville H. Gibson's work shop... and well, this is like a biography of the instrument itself.
What we learned?
Americans coming through Liverpool brought American records and American guitars which were sold in the stores, some so precious that they were kept behind glass.
The DVD/film is C 2000 Cottonport Holdings Nashville.

Christine here! I love Indian music. I love the spiritual music, the historical music... but I bet if I went to India I'd hear more pop music - more rock and roll!
