Zepp-4-Life Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 This coming June 6th in Toronto there is an attempt at breaking the Guinness World Record for most guitar players assembled and playing one song together simultaneously. Neil Young will lead us all in downtown Toronto at Yonge and Dundas Square in a rendition of his classic song Helpless, also recently voted as Canada's greatest tune. The previous record was 1,802 guitarists who gathered in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany to play Smoke On The Water in 2007. If you can make it, c'mon down and be a part of something historical.

redrum Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Sounds like the drumfest I went to a couple years ago in Tacoma. I think there were over 300 drummers banging away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zepp-4-Life Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 The news is sad , but we still had an incredible day in Toronto surrounded by 1623 guitar playing happy dudes and dudettes. We missed setting the new World Record by 200 or so. There are plans already in motion for next years effort. I went down with about a dozen good friends and we all had a ball, and of course I was the first in line as usual. See you next year ---- Video and pics.
