About Music & Film

The electric guitar changed music forever — a solid body, a few magnetic pickups, and suddenly a single player could fill an arena with sound. Early pioneers wired raw ambition into every bent string and ringing chord, turning feedback and distortion from accidents into art. From the smoky clubs of the 1950s to stadium stages blazing with light, that six-string snarl became the heartbeat of rock and roll.
