Guitar Crazy is a love poem to the magical sound of guitars
played and told by world-class artists.
The limited series is a tapestry, asking why a particular guitar reveals
a song to the musician, perhaps only one.
The film dives deeply into the primal relationship musicians have with their instrument.

We’ve all experienced the power of guitar music: bad days softened, a melody that inspired us, lightened or saddened our hearts, made us laugh and cry. Our film’s featured musicians will take us on a transforming ride; we’ll discover what inspires them, what drives them, and where it all comes from.

 Nothing is more beautiful
Than a guitar
Except maybe two.

Jackson Browne owns dozens of guitars. He tells us that it’s not uncommon for one particular guitar to flood him whole with a song, Just that guitar, just that once, and never again. Jeff Tweedy also has a large guitar collection, but showing a small beat up acoustic to the camera, he tells us this is the one he’s most intimate with.” Celisse Hammond got her start starring in major Broadway traveling shows. She admits she played “mediocre guitar.” It wasn’t until she quit the road and got serious about her ax that she became a killer blues guitarist! “I can’t explain it.” she says, “There are times I can just feel it deep inside me, it has to come out!” These musicians, along with other amazing guitarists – rock, blues, jazz, country – will tell us why it’s that guitar that makes the music.

The artists who compose on them, the collectors who prize them, the fans who never stop listening to them, and the artisans who are obsessed with making the finest instruments, are all Guitar Crazy. These artists are the heart of the unique, seductive, world we will illuminate.
