"Exploring the global influence of the guitar: Andy Summers to delve into its cultural impact in a world-traveling documentary series"
Andy Summers' Upcoming Docu-Series "Global Guitar" Set to Explore the Global Embrace of the Guitar
In an exciting development for music enthusiasts, legendary guitarist Andy Summers of The Police is set to launch a new docu-series titled Global Guitar. The series, scheduled to begin filming in February and March next year, will delve into the global impact of the guitar and how different cultures have embraced this instrument.
The series, which comes from a deeply personal space for Summers, is an extension of his lifelong interest in music of various cultures and the guitar. However, as of September 2025, no official announcements have been made regarding the series' broadcast or a specific release date on a particular platform or channel.
Summers will travel to various locations to explore the unique ways in which different cultures have adopted and transformed the guitar. The series will consist of eight episodes and will feature Summers' interactions with different musicians who share a love for the guitar.
Todd Barasch and Christina Calio will pitch the series to distributors later this year. The series is yet to find a distributor, but industry insiders are optimistic about its potential. Bill Borden, producer of High School Musical, is co-producing the series with Andy Summers. Mark Dziak, producer of Race To The Center of the Earth, is also co-producing the series.
Summers had previously stated that one of The Police's biggest hits was initially intended to be discarded until he played on it. This anecdote underscores Summers' unique ability to breathe life into music, a trait that is sure to be on display in Global Guitar.
