{ Lick That Riff! }

Our most favoured guitar idols are often people that inspire us with their musical ability and guitar prowess. Their songs often speak to us and tell us that we should try and pick the guitar up, whether it be to emulate some of our favourites or to start our own band or write our own music with our very own style. But it isn't just the music that inspires us to create our own music, sometimes, when they are not getting wasted, sleeping with groupies or taking drugs, guitarists can say some pretty awe inspiring things. So what are the best[...]

Hello everyone, hope you had a fantastic weekend. Mine was ok, felt a bit ill Saturday though so didn't do too much. Anyway lets get back into a new week with another Hero Worship post.

Hello Readers, This is another poll of the week. Last weeks poll on the greatest guitaring decade was won by the 1980's. Thanks for all that voted. Anyway I was going to start a series of polls on who was the greatest guitarist in each of the decades, but I was reading an article about Eric Clapton the other day and whether he still matters.
