Guitarist James Burton attempts to break a world record
Breaking the world record for largest guitar ensemble is not a bad way to spend your 70th birthday party. That's exactly what guitarist James Burton is going to tomorrow at 2:00 pm at the James Burton International Guitar Festival in Shreveport, Louisiana. The previous Guiness world record for largest guitar ensemble goes to the 1,802 participants that did some simultaneous shredding 3 years ago in Germany. That ensemble was led by Andreas Vockrodt and played none other than Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. This year's attempt will be made by guitarists playing two Elvis hits: "That's All Right Mama," and "Hound Dog."
Two weeks ago an ensemble of guitarists gathered in front of the Welcome to Las Vegas sign in Las Vegas, NV to attempt to break the world record for the most guitar players to play the "Viva Las Vegas" song. Even the mayor showed up for this event, which was put together to celebrate Vegas Rocks! magazine's 5th anniversary.
