SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — Pioneering rockabilly guitarist James Burton led an ensemble of about 800 guitar players Saturday in a celebration of his 70th birthday, but failed in his attempt to make the Guinness Book of World Records.
Guinness lists the world’s largest guitar ensemble as 1,802 participants led by Andreas Vockrodt in Germany in 2007.
Now I am curious what that many guitars sound like when they’re not playing minimalist chord progressions.

update: I guess they look like this? (Doesn’t look like 1,802 though, and are they really using those tiny practice amps? Lame!)
