Story of the Guitar Doc Alan Yentob bbc last week

[gbbird]

I saw it. It weas OK but did miss out a lot of influencial people from Guitar history. Still, you can only fit so much into an hour. Iggy Pop's guitarist seems to have been/is still a bit of an odd character.

Biggest question though - why the hell did they have Yentob presenting it?

[Mattygooner]

Didn't see it, but i did stumble across on BBC4 on Sunday night a documentry on Les Paul. That was pretty good.

It wasn't a one off. There is a few parts to it.
I thought Yentob was pretty good.

The first show was crap,the second and last were better.But where was Clapton?

[Polar]

Or Johnny Greenwood who is becoming widely acknowledged as a major innovator.

[minipete]

Or Brian May?

I'm absolutely sure Clapton featured. Good to see my own hero David Gilmour featured.

[The Dude]

Clapton and Brian May were in there, though Brian May was only on there as one of Steve Vai's guitar heroes.

All in all I thought it was a good program. It would've been impossible to include everyone - it would've been about 50 hours long!

Some bloody nice guitars too.

Slightly OT but I've always been really amused by the fact that his surname backwards is "Botney"
