This series was absolutely amazing! I really enjoyed everything about this series. The depth of History and the knowledge gained from this alone makes it a must-see and I will be purchasing it shortly to add it to my library because it is that important. The only trouble I have is in the episode where they talk about Jimi Hendrix they basically cut Buddy Guy out of the picture entirely. They're talking about Little Richard, soul, Etc however they make it seem like his techniques of playing behind his back and playing with his teeth were something that he happened upon by himself. Buddy Guy actually did all those things first and Hendrix was obsessed with him and emulating his style. He actually canceled a gig to go see Buddy Guy at the last minute. If you watch Lightning in a Bottle you'll be able to see the story that this documentary neglected in a huge way. Hendrix is quoted as saying " Heaven is lying at Buddy Guy's feet while listening to him play guitar." I think that quote alone renders the error clear. Everything else about this series is absolutely spectacular however as a fan of Buddy Guy I really felt the need to clarify this gross error in presenting the history of Music accurately.
