{ Lick That Riff! }

Forgive me Father for I have sinned, it has been 7 weeks since my last Hero Worship post. But what a way to carry on the Worship with  a  great, if not weird looking guitarist. He comes from a band that first formed in 1976, but had their most success in the 80's. He is often considered as one of the pioneering guitarists of the Alternative Rock and Indie music scene. The band have sold more than 27 Million Albums worldwide and have their main success in the United States. They have had 13 studio albums to date with their eight studio album,[...]

Hello and welcome to another weekly riff where I take usually take a classic rock riff and show you how to play it. This week will be slightly different as it won't be a rock riff. Instead I've picked one of the biggest television theme tunes of all time. Now I'm sure a few of you may be critical of this weeks riff as it shows a sign of a band selling out and cashing in, but I still think it is a spectacular riff, and one that is iconic of the 90's. It reminds me so much of my youth in the 90s and early 00's and also reminds me of the Friends[...]

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Guitar Duel! It's been a couple of weeks I know but I have been busy sorting some stuff out. Lets take a look at the result of the last Guitar Duel between Tony Iommi and Ritchie Blackmore. Well surprisingly to me, Blackmore won with 71% of the votes. Anyway now onto this weeks duel. It's a bit of a contrast from last weeks as we see two 90s Giants go head to head instead of two metal guru's. And this week plays out a real life duel that these two had back in the mid-90s. Their bands, Oasis and Blur[...]

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 weekly riff. This weeks riff is another from the 90's and is one of the msot recognisable riffs in rock history. It propelled alternative rock into the mainstream and made one band extremely popular and famous. Today's riff was released in 1991 when i was just a lil one year old :) It comes from a band, which I'm sure you all know, called Nirvana. Credited to Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Kurt Cobain, this riff defined a generation and had many youngsters moshing and throwing their hair around. The song,[...]
