The Story Of The Guitar

The Story Of The GuitarThe BBC is showing Guitar Heroes again on one of its satellite/cable channels. This time, it also has some other guitar-related documentaries.

There’s a great one about Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits), but the one that caught my eye was this three-parter about the history of the guitar (available for the usual limited period on iPlayer).

Alan Yentob travels around to various places to look at how the guitar originated, and how it developed – from MediƦval times to the present. Lots of acoustic and rock footage included.
