The first ever rock song!

This is an extended version of the sequence in "The Top 10 Composers (Part 4)" featuring the world's first-ever rock number, with contestants from the World Air Guitar Championships in Finland and Las Vegas doing their thing to Vivaldi's Mandolin Concerto. Air guitarists include "C-Diddy" and "Hot Lixx Hulalann".

Yup, Vivaldi ROCKS :)! Got to love those string instruments. BTW, wasn't the guitar originally invented as a cheaper & easier-to-master form of mandolin in the 17th century?

Great vid.

FROM WIKIPEDIA: The Vinaccia family of luthiers is known for developing the mandolin, and may have built the oldest surviving six string guitar. Gaetano Vinaccia (1759 after 1831) has his signature on the label of a guitar built in Naples, Italy for six strings with the date of 1779. ..The dimensions of the modern classical guitar (also known as the Spanish guitar) were established by Antonio Torres Jurado (1817-1892), working in Seville in the 1850s.
