About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you love electric guitar, rock history, and musician-to-musician talk more than a tight storyline, similar to The Wrecking Crew or Muscle Shoals; Not for you if you want a clear narrative or full songs played through.
Pros: inspiring guitar performances; contrasting creative approaches; memorable DIY moments | Cons: loose structure; uneven insights; too little jamming
