Heck.. Torontonians almost did it. This Saturday we tried to break the world record held by germans playing "Smoke on the water" 1803 guitarists assembled in Germany. We played "helpless" by Neil Young with around 1600 + change. Did not make it for the record, but it was a blast. I will post the video as well soon.

That's too bad. But at least there was a genuine effort put in. I'm sure if Toronto put in a 2nd crack they'd break the record for sure.

Thanks man,

Here is the link

It doesn't do a justice sound wise but will give you an idea what a cool event this was.
Even if the record was not broken being there and playing with 1600 fellow guitarists was amazing experience.

Great turnout!
Who organized the event - a radio station?

Would love to try that in our little town.

My business tried to organize the most cars in one place playing the same song on their car radio, but all the local malls had a problem with the "liability". Maybe guitars aren't the liability problem?

Thanks for sharing the video.

Shouldn't this thread be titled:

"Close but no guitar?"

:D
