An exploration of history's great and gifted guitar players: the legends we call our Guitar Heroes. Wood, wire and simple electronics. The mind is blown in trying to imagine how these inanimate objects given life in the hands of humble luthiers could result in such a range of divergent musical styles -- rock, blues, jazz, country, RandB, soul, bluegrass, classical and more -- and create such profound emotions in the listener. From the unsung swing of Charlie Christian's bebop guitar and the transcendent psychedelic rock of Jimi Hendrix, to the majestic fire of Eddie Van Halen, the electric guitar has been a transformative presence in our lives -- not only musically but culturally -- since its birth over 85 years ago. The world was first brought to its collective knees through the innovations and inventiveness of four extraordinarily gifted Guitar Gods who emerged during the 1960s: Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. True masters, this quartet revolutionized the sound and style of the electric guitar.
