I play guitar and piano and they're both expressive..

First of all, the pacing of this was amateurish. I completely lost interest when several players, who probably know little about playing keyboard and piano, claim that piano players all play a note the same way. They should stick to talking about guitar and withhold their uninformed opinion on keyboard skills. Maybe their idea of expressive is jerking off with excessive vibrato and bends. Some of us actually focus on dynamics, shading and subtle difference in rhythm.

Very Enjoyable

It's cool hearing everyone's take on the great axe slingers. Guitarist are always the coolest on stage. When you'd go to a Zeppelin show, most people would give most of their attention to Jimmy. He created that beautiful monster! From a soft birth to a deadly monster! From an acoustic melodic intro to a knock you on your ass solo coming from that Les Paul, which was actually part of his body. It's even greater when you see a great collaboration between guitarist and singer. Especially when it's a natural relationship.

I would have gave this show a higher rating if it gave more time to performances. Not complete performances, but legendary bits or even bits I've never seen. Something fresh!

Unfortunate Mishmash

It's really more about shredders than anything, which is fine considering that's who most of the interviews were with, but I wish it would have been more upfront about that. I also enjoyed the interviews, but if they couldn't obtain the rights to any of the music, they shouldn't have made it, or dealt with it differently. They also spelled Kurt Cobain's name incorrectly, which was comical, but pretty disheartening.
