AIR GUITAR NATION WAS HILARIOUS and INTRIGUING : CHRISTINE TRZYNA FILM REVIEW

Intriguing! 

I admit that I have not only been "movie deprived" over the last few years - though I AM CATCHING UP! - but I also was somehow one of the last to understand that there are AIR GUITAR competitions that culminate in an International Competition in Finland, that it is thought of as performance art by the practitioners, and some think, athletics, and that the competition is funny, friendly, and fierce!

I loved this film/ DVD! I was laughing out loud and stopped crocheting to watch with all my attention focused.

This documentary film focuses on the 2003 competition which featured David "C- Diddy" Jung and Dan "Bjorn Turoque" Crane, but you see clips of a lot of other top performers, and well, I decided that IF YOU CAN SEE THE (INVISIBLE) GUITAR then you are watching a master, and I was.

There was also this:  It brought back the GUITAR GOD era, HEAVY METAL and other opportunities for a GUITAR GOD to show off his or her licks, stage antics, and costuming.  Bringing all of that together, along with mugging, attitude, and knowledge of actual guitar playing is an art, and these are artists!
