As you may know, I'm from Wrocław and
today I would like to write about the Guinness World Guitar Record
that takes place in my city on the 1st of May every year.
The record is a part of Thanks Jimi Festival dedicated to Jimi
Hendrix. For that reason, people play his song Hey Joe to
break a record. For the first time, the event took place in 2003 and
continues till today. There was 12 editions with 6 records broken.
Maybe you don't know it but I play the guitar and one day I decided
to participate in it! It was 5 or 6 years ago when I was in high
school. I went there with a group of friends to play Hey Joe
with the others. It was really
great! We spent a whole day in this amazing atmosphere. There were a
loooot of people that year. We had to play out of the prepared area
because there wasn't enough place. There were many participants from
other cities or even from other countries. I really enjoyed it! I
think the Guinness World Guitar Record in Wrocław is a very
interesting event that makes special the city. It attracts a lot of
tourist. You don't have to take part to have fun. You can just listen
a nice song played by thousands of people at the same time. However,
if you want to play with the others, it's quite easy because the song
isn't complicated. You just have to know some easy chords. This year
the record was broken with 7344 guitarists. Below you can see a
picture from the day I broke a record. Ok, it was just rehearsal:)
