Meet Georgia's real "Guitar Heroes"
JIMMY BRYANT: The electric guitar pioneer was among the first to play the Fender Telecaster; inventor Leo Fender brought it to Bryant because he was considered to be the fastest player of the postwar, pre-rock era. According to his heirs, Bryant also played the first Fender Stratocaster. In 2003, Fender issued a Jimmy Bryant Signature Telecaster. Check out his duets with pedal steel guitarist Speedy West.
