{ Lick That Riff! }

Hello everyone and welcome to another in the great series that is Hero Worship. This is where I take one guitarist and lay my worship on this unsuspecting guitar hero, with the help of Total Guitar magazine, of course. And this weeks hero definitely deserves the title of Guitar Hero as he shown us through the 90s and 00s that he is an exceptional guitarist. In 2003 Rolling Stone Magazine placed him as the 18th best guitarist in their 100 greatest guitarists list, and I believe this placing was perfect. Some thought his greatest moment came[...]

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 great RIFF! This weeks riff is a real corker and comes from the early 90s. In fact I think I was only about three when it was released :-) Anyway it comes from an artist that I haven't heard too much of in recent years, and a guitarist that has written two of my favourite riffs ever. This guitarists, dreads 'n' all is of course the 90s legend... Lenny Kravitz. And the song? No its not his Number One selling 98 hit, Fly Away . Its the amazing fantabulous legendary Are You Gonna Go My Way. Taken from his[...]

Hello everyone and welcome to another vicious Guitar Duel! This week looks to be another tasty affair, but I don't think its going to get as many votes as last weeks Guitar Election between Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. I really didn't expect last week to get so many votes, and what's more, I didn't expect the result that entailed. The result of last weeks Guitar Duel was an resounding win for Jeff Beck with 82 votes to Clapton's 28. But now onto this weeks Guitar Duel. Two more recent guitarists than some of the previous duels, this week see's[...]

Hello everyone and welcome to another post in the series of Hero Worship, where I take a weekly look at someone who I think is a Guitar Legend. This week is the turn of Blur guitarist, Graham Coxon. A bit different from the flamboyant antics of last weeks Hero, Justin Hawkins. But a Guitar Hero none the less. Coxon played some amazing guitar and I have already covered one of his classic riffs in the weekly riff section before. From Parklife to Song 2, Coxon has belted out some top quality riffs. So here's what Total Guitar said about[...]
