Spanning print, broadcast, digital and online, the campaign features influential and noteworthy artists describing the personal, powerful and transformative experience that music brings to their lives. The campaign was developed by Guitar Center to inspire consumers to discover that feeling for themselves by picking up a musical instrument and learning to play. With a newly minted Content Marketing Award and features in the New York Times and Adweek, the campaign has shown remarkable growth in its first year and Guitar Center plans to continue rolling out new commercial spots on a quarterly basis.
"Music has played such an important role in my life. I can't imagine a world without it and I wish that everyone could experience a piece of the joy that music brings to me. This Guitar Center campaign presented a perfect opportunity to share my love for music with the world and to encourage more people to play."

"At Guitar Center, we are passionate about inspiring people to play music and sharing the Greatest Feeling on Earth with the world – regardless of genre or instrument. It doesn't matter what you play, how well you play, or who you're playing to. From James Hetfield and Questlove to the aspiring songwriter strumming those first chords, the feeling music provides is the common thread that connects all musicians. It has been an honor to work with such accomplished and respected artists on this campaign in order to achieve that goal."
