In an exciting development for music enthusiasts worldwide, former Police member Andy Summers is launching a documentary series titled 'Global Guitar'. The series, which is yet to be commissioned for production, aims to delve into the global influence of the guitar on various music genres and cultures.

Summers, who has expressed a lifelong interest in the music of different cultures and the guitar's role within them, is co-producing the series with Bill Borden, known for producing High School Musical, and Mark Dziak, creator of US reality gameshow Race To The Center Of The Earth. Besides Summers, the series is also produced by Irene Taylor Brodsky, known for the Emmy-nominated documentary "Miracle on 42nd Street," and Louis Price, former lead singer of The Temptations.

The series will see Summers travelling the world to examine the influence of both acoustic and electric guitars on global music. It will showcase how the guitar is a continually evolving instrument that never seems to stop changing. The series is unique, having not been made in the way they are approaching it.

The series is expected to find its way to interested audiences around the globe, with filming scheduled to start in February. The production team is confident about its potential success and believes in the authentic vision of the series.

In the series, Summers will meet with musicians who share a love for the guitar, offering a unique perspective on the instrument's global impact. For updates on the series, readers are encouraged to sign up for the MusicRadar Newsletter.

It's important to note that the current state of celebrity travelogues is filled with shows like 'Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank', a hypothetical series mentioned in context. However, 'Global Guitar' stands out as a series that promises to offer a more substantive exploration of the guitar's role in various cultures.

The guitar, considered the pre-eminent instrument in the world, has been accessed and made unique by every culture. 'Global Guitar' is set to demonstrate this, offering a fascinating journey into the world of music through the lens of the guitar.
