The new documentary\u00a0It Might Get Loud<\/em>, which opens in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, is a love letter to the guitar. Director Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth<\/em>) managed to enlist possibly the most iconic guitar players of three generations\u2014Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White\u2014for what Page calls \u201can abstract, almost metaphysical\u201d exploration of the instrument’s power. If the climactic \u201csummit,\u201d in which the trio gather at a soundstage to play together, inevitably falls short of the stratospheric expectations, the film does feature such priceless scenes as Page air-guitaring to a favorite Link Wray single, White hammering together a one-string \u201cdiddley bow\u201d on his porch and making a joyful racket, and Edge demonstrating just how simple his playing is when the effects are all taken away.<\/span><\/p>\n
