Synopsis "The Guitar Man: Sam li (in English)"
'Sam Li, the only man who knew my guitar better than I did' - Francis Rossi. The Guitar Man: Sam Li is the inspirational story of a man who left his humble Caribbean roots in 1959, as part of the Windrush programme, and travelled to the UK in search of a better life with nothing more than some cabinet-making skills and a love of playing jazz guitar to his name. However, a few years after arriving in the UK, his life changed forever as he found himself at the epicentre of an exploding music scene. As musicians' demand for guitars increased through the 60's and 70's, Sam Li carved a niche for himself as the go-to guy for guitar repairs and set up in London. Along the way he not only became associated with some of music's most iconic instruments (Peter Green's '59 Les Paul Standard to name just one), but he also built a select number of bespoke guitars himself to a level of craftsmanship rarely seen nowadays. With fascinating input from family, peers in the London music scene and, of course, the musicians whose instruments he worked with, The Guitar Man tells the life story of a principled, mysterious and somewhat revered character from the music's halcyon days. 'I feel like a custodian rather than an owner. It s just passing down the line. I know that feeling well and I'm comfortable with it as long as I get to hang out and play it every day. It's a special piece of wood. And it's right beside me now. It sleeps where I sleep' - Kirk Hammett, owner of the Greeny.
