IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Primal Twang: The Legacy of the Guitar is the first definitive cinematic journey through the guitar's colorful and surprisingly controversial 3500-year history. Written by director, Anthony Leigh Adams and world music legend, Dan Crary, the story of the "instrument of the gods" is an innovative fusion of rare historical footage and electrifying live performances by Crary and an all-star ensemble of international guitar greats, including Grammy-winners Eric Johnson, Albert Lee, Andrew York, Mason Williams and Doc Watson. Together, in person, for the first time on any stage! The film, shot in multi-camera HD with an audiophile 5.1 soundtrack, features a wealth of bonus tracks, interviews and a "behind-the-scenes" documentary. Primal Twang is a "must have" for every guitar fan and music lover.
