What We're Watching: Laurie

It Might Get Loud directed by Davis Guggenheim. Starring Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White.

As a huge music fan, especially of Jimmy Page, I found this to be a truly captivating documentary. Guggenheim presents three gifted guitarists of three distinctly different generations discussing what drew them to the guitar, types of music that has inspired their playing and how they have developed their personal playing styles over the years. Page (Led Zeppelin), The Edge (U2) and White (The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and Dead Weather) sit down together to trade riffs to specific songs, thoughts on how music and the guitar have changed from generation to generation and to just jam together. The extras are fantastic, especially Page playing acoustic guitar. Hopefully one will walk away with a newfound respect for each of these players and a better understanding of their musical styles. Rated PG.
