When Rock Goes Acoustic (ft JDB)
http://digiguide.tv/programme/Music/...coustic/816357
When Rock Goes Acoustic The cliché of classic rock guitar is one of riffs, solos and noise. But write a list of great guitarists and their finest moments and a quieter, more intense playing comes to the fore. The acoustic guitar is the secret weapon in the armoury of the guitar hero, when paradoxically they get more attention by playing quietly than being loud. This documentary takes an insightful and occasionally irreverent look at the love affair between rock and the humble acoustic guitar. Exploring a much less celebrated, yet crucial part of the rock musician's arsenal, contributors including Johnny Marr, Keith Richards, Ray Davies, James Dean Bradfield, Biffy Clyro, Joan Armatrading, Donovan and Roger McGuinn discuss why an instrument favoured by medieval minstrels and singing nuns is as important to rock 'n' roll as the drums, bass and its noisy sister, the electric guitar.

I'm amazed documentaries like this get commissioned. It's just a list of people who played acoustic guitar and obvious facts in chronological order with famous people adding vacuous opinions. I hope JDB has something worthwhile to contribute.

So far he's said one sentence about Led Zep and I lost count of how many times he said "kinda like"

James is talking about feeling naked while Small Black Flowers plays. I dread to think of TGW's reaction...

Good stuff! The man deserves it!
Couldn't watch it properly with my mother there. She always ends up waffling away and distracting me. 'I'm trying to watch JDB!'
