I saw this one recently, very cool indeed!

I need to check this one out!!! Heard a lot about it but haven't got the opportunity to watch it...

It really is great. A lot of clips on youtube as well. Being a Jimmy Page fan I found it fascinating to hear him discuss his past and how he found the guitar. So many great scenes with him in the movie... I think I might watch it again tonight

PS: I started a thread a while back in the bands and guitarist section about this movie. Have some clips in it from the film.

I don't know if it counts, but not much ago I saw the "Chaos In Motion" documentary of Dream Theater, about the recordings session of their "Systematic Chaos" album. It is really interesting to see them how they record and you can get a lot of tips from them to work in a band. I found it really really interesting

A great documentay film about Latin Jazz is CALLE 54 by Fernando Trueba.
There's also the "classic" Buena Vista Social Club by Wim Wenders .

I watched some of the "Classic Album" DVDs. Maiden, Motorhead, Pink Floyd, Priest, very interesting stuff.

Oohhh, there's a lot of stuff. Marvin Gaye's documentary is most interesting. Also the documentary bout Robert Johnson where a guy searching for his grave is very good. This topic is very interesting, and I have to check my tapes and return, since I have loads of this stuff laying around.

Calle 54 is an awesome documentary. Specially when they play!!

Was amazing !

I may be off topic a bit but do you know anything similar to this !?!

Not necessarily video. Books, websites (not wikipedia stuff) any material that takes you from the roots to present, from basic to complex (like this movie does).

Thank you.

What are the names of those Staffay?

I found recently documentary on youtube, also BBC I think, about guy wgi wants to write orchestra piece, but has never touched musical instrument. He enters the musical academy, and they teach him everything, solfeggio, harmony, piano, singing, rhythm.
I mean, methodology is amazing, they are working with him like with child , more talking and clapping, and singing then touching the piano.
I couldn't believe, like, he must first learn to distinguish major chord from minor, he talks with musicians, methodology is so progressive and intuitive, really worth watching. I think is called "So you want to become composer" or similar, search a youtube a bit.

Yeah, the guy is 50 years old
