“You really put something special together…it’s such a great film and definitely deserves to be seen widely…it was so well done, and I really appreciated the different topics you touched on.”
“I had ten mins max to spare when I sat down to start watching this film, here it is an hour later, my plans for the day are upside down and I don't care, couldn't stop watching! You guys did an incredible job. Such an entertaining film. I can only begin to imagine the countless hours of time and care you put into this…bravo! and thank you”
“I was completely absorbed from start to finish. I didn’t even pause it once. I truly loved it. I greatly enjoyed the history and the remarkable stories shared by your guests. I was especially impressed by the production quality. The research, organization, and demanding editing alone…You deserve tremendous credit for bringing this project to completion.”
“As a guitar educator and content creator, I really enjoyed watching String Theory: Guitar Obsessed. It’s well-produced and insightful…this documentary captures perfectly why so many people get inspired by this instrument.” Desi Serna

“Bravo! Congratulations on creating an entertaining treat for guitarists and for those who simply love music. I love that the Community section of the film touches on the bond that music/guitar can create among people of otherwise different ages, backgrounds, values and political persuasions. That’s a powerful thing.
Nice job documenting the passion for guitar and accurately capturing what drives so many older guitarists (like me).”
“String Theory: Guitar Obsessed is a fantastic documentary exploring what makes the guitar so enduringly popular…Jarett and Randy are a great team with infectious enthusiasm, and the action is fun and fast paced as they interview iconic guitar makers, sellers, teachers, and of course the Deputy Director of the FBI! If there’s one good thing to come out of the Covid era, it’s the guitar’s incredible comeback—and that’s one conspiracy I’m happy to believe!"
“Artists do art according to their visions. Your vision made for a very enjoyable movie.”

“This is a fun, interesting and engaging take on how guitars are viewed in our society. It never takes itself too seriously but still manages to be an intelligent discourse between guitar enthusiasts from a variety of backgrounds on how and why guitars are, well, simply put, cool! And anyone who has ever even had a passing thought of, “hey, I should learn guitar” should watch this!”

“String Theory: Guitar Obsessed is a fun, engaging watch—even for someone like me who doesn't play guitar. It highlights how deeply personal guitar playing is for so many people. What really struck me was the repartee between Randy and Jarett. Their back-and-forth gave the film an easy rhythm that kept the documentary entertaining and lighthearted. I loved hearing the stories from guitar makers, internet teachers, and a few unexpected guests. Seeing a former FBI Deputy Director talk about his love of playing guitar was surprising and engaging.”

“The entire concept of the documentary was brilliant! I am a huge fan of documentaries and this one was excellent. Very entertaining, informative, educational and incredible interviews and insight. The stories of the history of guitars, the musicians, and how the way guitar playing brings everyone together as one shared community. Amazing in every way and I highly recommend this documentary.”
“A great movie that is both educational and funny. Amazing to see the people that appear and explain their love of guitar. And, if you haven't put a guitar behind you in your Zoom meetings, you will after you see this.”
“This is crazy to me how much my wife and I loved String Theory. We are not musicians in any way shape or form. But we were immediately captivated by this documentary's wit, fun facts, life stories and charm. The kicker is, as soon as it ended, she said to me ‘Looks like we are getting guitars!’ .. the next day we were at a music store purchasing 2 acoustic electric guitars and haven't put them down since!”
“This is a fantastic documentary for those of us who consider playing guitar to be a wonderfully essential part of life. Thank you for your work. I will pass it on for sure.”
“Epic, I love it. During covid, and since, almost every video call I'm in there is a guy with a brace of guitars on the wall. In the end I gave up and started learning myself. Now I have three on my wall.”
