Wild duet Madonna performing with Justin Timberlake at a concert

This weekend sit back, relax and make a date with rock royalty. While we cannot dream of electrifying the stadium with guitar riffs like your standard issue rock star, we can at least get some vicarious delights watching them on telly.

Witness the gods of music as they channel the music of the cosmos and anchor it to the earthy beat of rock and roll on VH1’s “Gods of Guitar”.

Gear up for performances by Jimi Hendrix, Mark Knopfler, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple today at 11 a.m. and weeknights at 11 p.m.

Watch a video-shuffle of Jimi Hendrix, who helped expand the range and vocabulary of the electric guitar. Catch Mark Knopfler in London with his husky vocals and precise, razor sharp deliveries.

Let Jimmy Page take you from the “Stairway to Heaven” and then transport you to “Kashmir” with a back-to-back Led Zeppelin video shuffle. Watch Deep Purple live in California where the show is like an apocalypse with fire, with Ritchie Blackmore breaking about five guitars against the speakers.

And finally don’t miss Madonna, the defiant diva on Sunday Brunch tomorrow at 11 a.m.
