Hosted by Bill Winter, GuitarGuitar! is a program
being developed for network cable. Its a
hobbyist show with a format much like the many
Gardening or Home Remodeling shows on the air.
Unlike any other, however, this show celebrates
the Guitar as Americas favorite musical
instrument, its great players and makers,
guitar techs and sound technicians, amp makers,
innovators and of course, the guitars themselves.
The show is designed for the non-professional
musician as well as the fans of great guitarists.
Inside and backstage perspectives as well as practical
and useful guitar-related information will be
the focus of the show.
The show GuitarGuitar! will highlight major guitar
genres of Jazz, Blues, Country, Rock and Classic
as demographics dictate, but will also spend significant
time on Bluegrass and Fingerstyle, Folk styles,
Slide, Hawaiian Slack Key, etc.
The show will be shot primarily on location at
specific events (award shows, concerts etc.) or
at specific locations (McCabes guitar shop,
Gibsons custom shop, Beale Street etc.).
Event shows will be primarily concerned with guitar-
related aspects of pre-show and backstage preparations
as well as interviews.
The performance will not be the primary interest
of the show. Interviews will include but not be
limited to talent. In fact the overall number
of interviews will be comprised mostly of non-celebrity
professionals in guitar related fields, (guitar
techs, luthiers, engineers, producers etc.).
GuitarGuitar! will cover Apalachian folksongs
and Delta blues, singing cowboys and hawaiian
steel guitar. Its Americas TV show
for Americas musical sweetheart: the guitar.
