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<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndSteve Vai and Joe Satriana are amazing players, but not really distinctive in their sound. 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.
