June 6th -  Exactly 1,623 gathered in Yonge-Dundas Square to play Neil Young's Helpless setting a new Canadian record for largest guitar ensemble; just shy of the Guinness World Record.

NEIL YOUNG’S HELPLESS VOTED TOP SONG FOR
LUMINATO’S THE GREAT CANADIAN TUNE

We put together a list of our top 10 Canadian guitar tunes and Neil Young's Helpless has won as the The Great Canadian Tune! Join what could be the world's biggest jam session.

Grab your guitar and come to Yonge-Dundas Square, where The Heartbroken will play all 10 top-ranked songs, ending with Helpless. Join the band in playing it as we try to break the world record for largest guitar ensemble. (The number to beat is 1,802: that's how many gathered in 2007 in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany, to play Smoke on the Water.)

Don't play? Be sure to come anyway! It'll be an historic occasion - and a great Canadian concert!
