The Air Guitar is an activity which is to mimic, usually on the mode of derision, the gesture of a guitar without an instrument in hand.

Prior to triumph on stage, all budding rockers start to their room in the mirror, practicing without knowing what is called the Air Guitar. In 1969, the Woodstock Festival, Joe Cocker gives a stunning demonstration before a stunned audience. In the 70s, the explosion of hard rock and worship guitar-heroes inflame the fans, who strafed solos to their imaginary stereo channels.

Each year since 1994, students in the Department of Audiovisual Arts-Deco Oulu, Finland, Oulu organize the Music Video Festival, devoted to popular culture as music videos, films and concerts.

In 1996, in addition to this concept, the first Air Guitar World Championships, whose original idea had been used briefly by the English, a year ago, at a party at the Lift Club in Brighton.

The festival, which arouses the attention of international media gathered during 4-5 days of the end of August, nearly 20,000 participants, among whom are the Jimi Hendrix guitar invisible from around the world to win the trophy for best virtual guitar.
