The event is becoming a cult event, and every year people from across Poland and the rest of Europe gather in Wrocław, attempting to beat the Guinness World Record in the collaborative guitar rendition of "Hey Joe". This year, participants will attempt to beat their own record from 2014, when the song resounded, while being played through 7344 guitars. Will they be able to beat the record this time?
