{ Lick That Riff! }

Hello everyone and welcome back to another weekly riff and back to a Guitarist that I have covered on here on several posts. I've already covered one of his riffs, Plug In Baby, back in April. He is considered one of the best guitarists of the last decade and a guitarist who promises a lot more. The guitarist? Matt Bellamy. He hails from the British trio called Muse and they have become one of the biggest bands in the UK, Europe and they're even making waves across the pond now. Personally I think their albums have slowly got worse as they've[...]

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 Guitar Duel, a battle of legendary guitarists wits, stamina and skills. These contests provide blood, sweat and tears from our guitar heroes but I'm afraid they have to be done. Well done for everyone who voted on the last guitar duel between Chuck Berry and BB King, it was close at the start but then King started to pull away and he was the winner in the end. Anyway now on to this weeks fascinating encounter between two of the best British guitarists of the 70s and 80s and two guitarists that are still[...]

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 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[...]
