Hamilton Festival of Friends 2009; World Record Guitar Ensemble Attempt

[gsisson1]

Clearly, ron4blues, we need a sugar daddy!

[gsisson1]

Let's see...1726 plus 1859...how about we meet in the middle somewhere and make a record Germany doesn't even have enough guitars to beat. I'm from Texas, and was one of the 1859 who broke the record. When I say in the middle, I mean NORTH Texas. God Bless Texas.

[ron4blues]

That would be a great idea, but the logistics of moving 1800 people from southern Ontario to North Texas would probably set some records too. But 3575 guitars going at once would rock!

Well, WE ARE the Worlds Record Holder. Luckenbach, Texas August 23rd. 1859 certified players. Come and get it (if you can).

[ron4blues]

We're coming!

I was also there, it was fun as hell. Even if we didn't make it, we beat Toronto, and that's what matters anyway. But I don't know where people are getting the information that we didn't make it, I've been checking google all day. Would have been alot louder if more people had acoustics instead of electrics, but all I could bring was my SG.

[coldbore01]

I came. I played, but we missed the record. Only 1726 mof the needed 1803...darn it. But it is the biggest gathering in north america

[Jaytheredneck1]

Still beat Toronto, and that's what matters =)

Thanks for uploading this, i was on the far left side of the stage. It was pretty cool being apart of this. I guess we'll know if we did it by Monday.

That Was Amazing When Everybody Held Up There Guitars....Hope We Get The Guiness Record HAMILTON ROCKS!!

I Was There -:)

[ron4blues]

You can really appreciate how many guitars were there when the musicians on stage stop for a few measures and all you hear are all the un-amped guitars in the crowd.

Good job, Hamilton. We hope you get a hockey team if not a world record!

Love, Toronto
