A documentary about the life and career of Joe Bonamassa, Guitar Man, will be released next month.
Directed by Kevin Shirley and Philippe Klose, the film looks back at Bonamassa's rise from a teenage wunderkind touring with B.B. King to a veteran with more chart-topping Blues albums than any other guitarist in history.
The film will feature live concert footage and interviews with some of Bonamassa's many legendary friends and collaborators in the industry.
Guitar Man will arrive December 8 – on video-on-demand and for digital purchase – from Paramount Home Entertainment. You can watch the trailer for the film below.

Jackson is an Associate Editor at GuitarWorld.com and GuitarPlayer.com. He’s been writing and editing stories about new gear, technique and guitar-driven music both old and new since 2014, and has also written extensively on the same topics for Guitar Player. Elsewhere, his album reviews and essays have appeared in Louder and Unrecorded. Though open to music of all kinds, his greatest love has always been indie, and everything that falls under its massive umbrella. To that end, you can find him on Twitter crowing about whatever great new guitar band you need to drop everything to hear right now.
