To sum up, this film consists in 3 great guitarists who meet to discuss bout the electric guitar, the hits that have been done with it, some techniques, effects, settings, such an interesting field for discussing. The one who arranges the meeting is Jack White, the famous composer of seven nation army or black bat licorice. He wants to know how some of the best guitarists in the world make it to write hits. For this purpose he brings 2 guitarists who are the opposite:
Jimmy Page: From the mythical band Led Zeppelim, the one who always refuses to use effects because in his opinion they make the sound get dirty. Is one of the best guitarists worldwide because of his virtuosity and simpleness. His greatest hit is "Stairway to heaven" and the one that has been really good is "Whole lotta love". He was invited by Jack White because he was the idol of his childhood.
The Edge: Another great guitarist from U2, the one who began using effects for the electric guitar. He studied as a sound engineer and instead of working as an engineer he began playing the guitar and applying his knowledge. This made him a virtuoso for the new sounds he created. Some of their greatest hits are "Where the streets have no name" and "With or without you"
In my opinion is a very nice documentary because of all the things they talk about. I've learned a lot of new techniques and tunnings that I've already aplied and they sound great. So I think that the directors made a great job with this project because it's awesome how everything has been prepared, the imagery, sound, etc.
So I highly recommend it to all guitar players, from amateurs like me, to other professionals!
