{ Lick That Riff! }

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;[...]

Hello everyone and welcome to another Guitar Duel. I apologise for not doing one for a week but I've been busy. Anyway the last Guitar Duel between Paul Weller and Johnny Marr ended with Marr taking 88% of the votes, so thanks for all that voted. Now to this weeks fascinating battle between arguably Ireland's two best guitarist exports. Between this weeks guitarists we look back at 70s blues and technical ability with the guitar. We look at some Bullfrog Blues and some apregio'd delay. So who are these two Irish guitar gods? Well its none[...]

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[...]

Hello everyone and welcome to another Hero Worship post. I know it's been a while on the old worship front so I thought you guys deserved a lil Hero Worship. This weeks legendary guitarist is a real corker. Inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, voted 50th in Rolling Stone Magazines 100 Greatest Guitarists and the godfather of smashing guitars and a windmilling picking arm. He's also wrote several rock opera's from Tommy to one of my favourite films of all time, Quadrophenia. He still tours with his band, The Who even though hes[...]

Hello everyone and welcome to another exciting Guitar Duel, these are proving really popular. Before we get onto this weeks duel lets look at who won last weeks battle between Morello and Cobain. I must admit I did sort of expect the end result in which Morello was the overall winner. It was quite close though. Thanks for voting guys. But now onto this weeks cincilating duel between two of the older greats. For this weeks poll we travel back to the birth of rock n roll in the 50s. With these two guitarists we look back at a girl called Lucille[...]
