Feb 22, 2019 · Easily the most famous guitar in the entire series is Wayne's Excalibur. The movie claims the Fender Stratocaster of Wayne's dreams is a '64 Stratocaster in "classic white" ( cough , olympic white, cough ).

Aug 15, 2019 · Miller's Telecaster aside, Fender was not the most popular guitar brand at the festival. A very unscientific and necessarily incomplete analysis of movie footage and stills from the event—some pristine, some murky and blurred—reveals that Gibson guitars were the most plentiful at Woodstock by quite a margin.

We may as well start with the most famous movie guitar lick of them all, right? This simple, suave piece of riffing is so slick and iconic, it’s almost a parody these days. As soon as those first notes light up, you instantly picture a besuited man casually walk towards the centre of the screen before drawing his ‘piece’ and nailing you with a merc...
Sitting closely behind the James Bond Theme in the culturally significant stakes is Ennio Morricone’s immortal twang-fest for Sergio Leone’s Dollars Trilogy. Picture Clint Eastwood wearing a chunky kaftan, smoking a cheroot and squinting at you sardonically. He’s mean, he’s tired and he’s had enough of you. In the background, you hear some music pl...
There is certainly a theme running here, with twangy Strats being played with some seriously swaggering attitude! For Quentin Tarantino’s massively influential 1994 movie Pulp Fiction, he raided his own vinyl collection from the 50s through to the 70s in order to give his stylish movie a somewhat self-consciously hip/off-kilter soundtrack. Pulp Fic...
Sticking with Quentin Tarantino (he is certainly a real tastemaker for film music, given that he is a director and not a musician or composer), our next genius guitar moment comes from the first part of Kill Bill. Although it sounds like it was custom made for the movie, Battle Without Honor or Humanitywas written and released several years before,...
Taking a brief break from all of the relentless gangster posing those other tunes have inspired, we now move to a delicate and wonderful piece of acoustic guitar film scoring. Deceptively difficult to play, John Williams’ (no, the other one) lyrical and heartbreaking Cavatina is used throughout The Deer Hunterto provide a stark dramatic context to ...
‘Bombastic’ is the single word we’d use to describe this brief and brilliant slice of danger from Hans Zimmer. In 2010, the world had not yet grown tired of the overuse of those huge brass blasts, so Inception’s soundtrack stood out like a whole new concept in film scoring. Note how little dialogue is used in the last 40 minutes of the movie, compa...
You can already picture big-haired Steve Stevens standing in front of fighter planes on an aircraft hangar, giving it big licks in the best 80s fashion, can’t you? It’s an image that’ll never fade, just like Tom ‘Maverick’ Cruise’s mad cackling face as he (eventually) pilots some planes in Top Gun. Whichever way you cut it, it’s a very silly film, ...
We’re back with ‘The Zim’ for another evocative score, and this time it’s almost the opposite of Inception’s grandeur. For Thelma and Louise, a beautiful movie about escaping bad situations and following one’s joy, Zimmer decided to play his cards close to his chest and deliver a very ‘American’ sounding score. Given how much Ridley Scott’s directi...
What better to score Mel Gibson’s stupendous mullet and mad-eyed glare than the sound of endlessly shredding guitars? That’s what composer Michael Kamen obviously thought when he penned the gloriously ‘of its time’ Lethal Weapon score. Depending on your age, you’ll either remember Lethal Weapon’s overt ‘80’s-ness’ fondly or you’ll stare incredulous...
Following hot on the heels of Lethal Weapon is another film that likes to mix guitar solos with climactic gun battles. If the electric guitar’s presence in the Dollars trilogy was somewhat anachronistic, then there’s really no way to explain their inclusion here in a movie about Billy the Kid! Again, who cares? The film’s storyline is surprisingly ...

Mar 5, 2020 · Most musicians love a good movie. Cinema offers a fun, relaxing respite after your typical five-hour, finger-grinding guitar workout. But what's a guitar player to watch when documentaries get too heady and most modern musicals neglect our favorite instrument?

Nov 1, 2022 · Johnny Cash’s guitarist, Luther Perkins, is most famous for playing a Fender Esquire, but, for much of his career, he favored the offset-waist hero of our story. Luther credited the Jazzmaster as the key to his signature sound, and, to drive the point home, his gravestone even has a little Jazzmaster carved into it.
