{ Lick That Riff! }

Hello and welcome to another weekly riff where I look at a classic rock riff and show you guys how to play it. This weeks riff is a bit different from the last one I did which was a psyhcadelic 60s riff by Status Quo. Anyway I heard this riff the other day as many 15 and 16 year old's across the UK are finishing school this summer. This song is played every year on some sort of Holiday, Summer, Job or other advertisement as soon as the schools break up for summer. I always thought this was an overplayed song and that the riff was often a[...]

Hello and welcome to another weekly riff. I'm not really sure how many people are going to be reading this blog post because Twitter have decided to suspend my account. Hopefully this will be resolved over the next few days. Anyway lets have a look at this weeks cracking riff. It comes from a band that formed in 1967 and a band that I often think are underrated as a guitar band. Again this weeks choice has been influenced by watching the current BBC program, "Guitar Heroes at the BBC." The band are fronted by two guitarists that also sing;[...]

Well hello there everyone and welcome to another smashing riff. This weeks riff comes from a band that formed in the late 70's and to be honest a band and guitarist that I have not listened too much. In fact the main reason I have chose this particular riff this week is because I was watching a program the other week called Guitar Heroes At The BBC, and this song was on it. It was then I remembered how good a riff it was. I suppose the reason I have always backed away from this band in the past, is because I'm not really Sting's biggest fan.[...]

Hello everyone and welcome to the weekly riff. A feature where I teach you a riff, every week (rocket science, uh) Anyway this weeks riff is one where I'm reliving my British youth and I'm sure a lot of other people out there are too. It comes from one of my top ten most influential guitarists and also, in my opinion, one of the best debut albums ever. They were the biggest band in the UK for some time, and even up until they split last summer they were a commanding force in the music industry. So, who are this band? Whos the Guitarist? Whats[...]

Hello everyone and welcome to another one of those weekly riffs. I have an absolute amazing guitar song lined up for you today, truly amazing. I love this song for so many reasons, for one, it reminds me of a time a couple of years ago where I hadn't played my guitar for a while, I then re-found Abbey Road and preceded to learn it and play it. The second reason is that its from one of top three bands of all time, The Beatles; and two of my top ten guitarists - Lennon and Harrison. And thirdly I remember just as I re-found Abbey Road and fell[...]
