DevO Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Such a great looking festival! This one looks like fun as well:The Great Canadian TuneLuminato attempts to break the Guinness World Record for Largest Guitar Ensemble asYonge-Dundas Square hosts a jam session with guitarists playing ten of the greatestCanadian tunes. The current record is held by Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany where1,802 guitarists assembled to perform Deep Purple’s “Smoke On The Water.†In the weeksleading up to the Festival, audiences are asked to log on to luminato.com to place theirvotes for The Great Canadian Tune. The Great Canadian Tune is presented by OLG.Saturday, June 6 at Yonge-Dundas SquareFREEI'm going to vote for 'Helpless'.. Great Canadian tune and only 3 simple chords, I think 2,000 guitarists could strum along together no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
