I shot this film almost 3 years ago! Keni Lee Burgess, who has loads of guitar tutorials here on youtube, allowed me to follow him around the streets of Manhattan to document his lifestyle that being a busker.
I was so incredibly lucky that I was able to make contact with the son of the inventor of the resonator guitar John E Dopyera. Although the film was super fun to make, the end result from a film makers stand point is that I wasn't happy with the video quality. I shot on a miniDV camera, wish I had an HD at that time but couldn't afford one.
Please enjoy the film. Feel free to leave feed back. Please visit kenilee burgess here on youtube.
Regards,
George Canzaniello

Wonderful documentary! I started doing my own research on resonators a few years back. It's not easy finding detailed info on them. You found some tasty tidbits from the son who started it all.
