Back in the 90s, David DiDonato played guitar for several underground Richmond bands–Ipecac, Ultimate Dragons, Jolly Mortals and HRM among them. He later moved to Austin, TX, where he spent some time in J Church and The Sword. Now, today, he’s attempting to make history by playing the longest continuous guitar solo ever documented [UPDATE: He broke the record and went for a 25th hour, finally stopping around 9 PM EDT]. And you can watch it live on the streaming video player below!

DiDonato is currently onstage at Austin’s Red 7 club; he’s been at it since 7 PM (Central time–that’s 8 PM here) last night, and as of right now, he’s still going. Can he make it? Can he set the world record? Can he keep from collapsing from sheer exhaustion? Tune in and find out!
[Note: DiDonato is allowed 5 minute breaks once per hour. As of 4 PM EDT, he has just retaken the stage.]
