Woodstock legend Country Joe McDonald led 2,052 guitarists in a record-breaking performance of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land” in a Concord, California park on Tuesday. Entire families showed up to strum and sing along to the six-minute rendition of the tune.
While it will take Guinness World Records officials at least a month to certify that they broke the previous record for a guitar ensemble playing in unison, which was set almost exactly a year ago by 1,802 people in Leinfelden-Echterdingen Germany, who collaborated on a version of "Smoke on the Water."
