What does it look like when you have two guitar greats watching a guitar god lay down one of the greatest guitar riffs in the history of Rock and Roll? U2’s The Edge and Jack White of The White Stripes look like kids in a candy story while witnessing Led Zeppelin axe man Jimmy Page wail out ‘Whole Lotta Love.”

That’s just one of the treats in the new electric guitar documentary It Might Get Loud. The filmmaker gathered the multi-generational mix in 2008 and sat the three down to talk about strumming the six string. Page, The Edge and White all notably have their own take on the art of playing and that’s where music lovers are graced with a pretty sweet ninety-minute ride.

Granted, I am a giant White Stripes fan, seasoned in the Led and don’t mind listening to U2. So, as far as documentary subjects go, I was already enthralled.

A good documentary captures the human emotion of the subject, and you learn something new along the way. In this case, we find delve into reasons why these guys ever picked up the guitar. We also find out why The Edge always plays on Bono’s right side. Jimmy Page does the math adding up what four members of a well oil band equals. Jack White also tells you why his piano is four steps away from his guitar, instead of three.

Those little factoids are why die-hard music fans will appreciate this one. By the way, you’ve been warned in the title.
