Widely considered one of the world’s all-time greatest guitarists and known amongst his peers as a great collaborator, Eric Clapton organized the fifth installment of the Crossroads Guitar Festival. The Festival, which has become legendary in its own right for hosting performances and impromptu collaborations from the world’s most legendary guitar players, took place September 20-21, 2019 in the city that hosted the first-ever Crossroads Guitar Festival, Dallas Texas. Clapton gathered the past, present and future of guitar music onto one stage for an unparalleled musical event.

Guitars are more than well-crafted instruments. Musicians know each guitar holds songs that only they can coax from its strings. This connection is evident from modern-day guitar's earliest acoustic beginnings in Orville H. Gibson's workshop to Les Paul's revolutionary invention of "The Log" (the first solid body electric guitar). In A Guitar Odyssey: Wired For Sound, a gallery of guitar greats demonstrate musical innovations and unique styles. Meet the "Who's Who" of guitar playing and hear the enduring sounds they created, from early masters like Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry, B.B.
