To say that my favorite part of the It Might Get Loud Blu-ray is the trailer for Soul Power is no insult to Loud, but rather, an indication of my love for Power and the DVD/Blu coming in mid-January.

I'm not an instrumentalist at all, much less a guitarist (I gave up at age 6), but I had a good time with this meeting of the maestros. They all start out cautious, but let their hunger show and tuck in to a really pulse-quickening jam session between stories. I don't dislike Jack White nearly as much as many of my friends seem to, but I still had a better time overall listening to the stories from The Edge and Jimmy Page. The same people who are interested in this title as guitarists themselves should not settle for anything less than the DTS-HD Master audio on the Blu-ray. I'd love to see Davis Guggenheim or a talented director like him make a four-hour doc in this style about legendary cinematographers. If I had my pick, I'd go with Guillermo Navarro (who shot Loud), Vittorio Storaro, & Roger Deakins right off the bat, and round it out with Vilmos Zsigmond and...Steven Soderbergh maybe?

The half hour or so of deleted scenes are where it's at on the extras. More anecdotes and jamming are a good thing indeed. The 40-minute press conference from the Toronto Film Fest is a great learning tool for new and aspiring journalists and bloggers who want to know how to not act like an idiot when asking questions to talent. I didn't have the time to listen to the commentary track that features Guggenheim and producers Leslie Chilcott and Thomas Tull. There's a "movieIQ" trivia track that I didn't bother to switch on before watching the movie. Be aware that it requires BD-Live.
