It Might Get Loud

I saw this movie when Margaret was in town a few weeks ago. It's basically the recording of a conversation between Jack White, The Edge and Jimmy Paige, talking about guitars and technology. It's really amazing that three such professional and talented guitar players can have such differing viewpoints on the future of the guitar. Jack White is all about keeping it natural and old school while The Edge is always looking at new technology and how to warp the sound that comes out of the speakers. And my favorite Jimmy Paige, his face just lights up whenever a great song comes on. Its funny that the way his lip quivers when he plays the guitar now is the saw way it quivered when he was a boy playing. I love quirky things like that, that just make you love him so much more. Its a great film and I highly recommend it.
