{ Lick That Riff! }

Hello again everyone, hope you're all dandy. Welcome to another weekly riff. This weeks riff comes from one of my personal guitar heroes and one that I covered a few weeks back in the Hero Worship post, Justin Hawkins. It comes from The Darknesses first album, Permission To Land. It was released twice, once in 2002 and then re-released as a third single from the album in 2003. It is an instantly recognisable riff and probably the Darknesses most recognised song, reaching number 2 in the British charts. The song, of course, is that amazing[...]

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Guitar Duel! Where I pit two of the worlds best guitarists against each other and you lot decide which is better. Simples.

But I assure you, if you listen to the music, especially from the album Permission To Land you will find some outstanding guitar playing for a debut album. This weeks Guitar Hero is[...]

Hello everyone, hope you are all keeping well. Ok, so now that all of the best guitarists of the decade polls are over, I can finally move on to who you think the best guitarist is. The winner of the best 00's Guitarist goes to Matt Bellamy so he has put himself in the running for Greatest Guitarist Ever. Now, the only way that I can think about putting this list together in the fairest way is to take all of your choices on the decade polls and only use those guitarists to determine the Greatest Guitarist. So all of you who didn't[...]
