Guitar World Records

88 guitar world records, videos, and challenges

Guitar world records go beyond the standard rockstar posturing. Record holders have played the instrument at high speeds, shown off their riff repertoires with a little help from Led Zeppelin or Hendrix's back catalogs and even used their guitars as paddles for hitting table tennis balls. For those who are about to rock these records, we salute you.

Raktim Khound of Jorhat, India, swung his acoustic guitar up over his head and played it resting across his shoulders for 5 minutes 37 seconds. Filmed from behind in one continuous take, the video shows his left hand on the neck above his head and his right hand strumming the body behind it, and he chose Vande Mataram, India's national song, for the attempt. RecordSetter timed the attempt from his first strum in position, about 22 seconds into the clip, until he brings the guitar back down at the six-minute mark. He never once gets to look at the strings.
