Anyone see the trailer for this? F*CKING FANTASTIC!!!<a href=\"http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony/itmightgetloud/\" target=\"_blank\">It Might Get Loud</a>Anyone else excited to see this?
As far as signature sounds.. where when you hear a guitar chord, you know which guitarist it is, I would've loved to have seen Brian May been included. Jimmy Page, I get. Edge.. a bit of a stretch.. but Jack White? I think the guitarists with the most distinct sounds include Brian May, Steve Vai, Joe Satriana, Slash, Page, Chet Atkins, etc...Cool idea though.. looks like it will be worth a watch!DaveChainsaw9

Hell, I'd love to have seen Page and Eddie Van Halen do their thing... I don't mind Jack White being in it, it seems he's there "to learn" from the greats before him. He is unique in his effects pedals, and certainly his taste in guitars. I dig his style, and for a two person band, the White Stripes rock!

They're both session players first and for most, so they dial in a very bold gain, and a nice ambient clean. I think they have a signature style for sure, but it's not one you can hear a chord ring out and think "oh yea". I think with their selection they were trying to get players to represent certain points and times and in music. With Page you have the late 60's- the early 80's, with the Edge you have the late 80's- mid 90's, and with Jack White you have the '00's on up. It's also all guys who were/are striving for a different sound, not necessarily just a good tone. And the film isn't entitled "the three greatest guitar players of all time", it may very well be the three who showed strong interest in making and possibly funding this documentary. Also, for you guy's who are not a fan of Jack White as you have seen him in the White Stripes, I strongly recommend you listen to the Raconteurs two albums.
