The electric guitar has been the most iconic instrument of musical inspiration and social change for almost one hundred years. Today, Yaron Deutsch is the world’s leading electric guitarist who bridges classical and contemporary music. This documentary is a portrait of the artist, and an exploration of the guitar’s evolution in music and electricity. Combining interview, master class, concert, and movie clips, the film asks what it means to interpret a composer’s work, and how legacy thrives in shadows of greatness.
