{ 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 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.

Well the decade is nearly up now and I thought that I should do a little review of it. It has seemed to have gone so fast! It has also seen the revival of guitar-based music within popular culture, but also by the end of the decade, we see Guitars used less and less within this culture as 80's-esque electronica has been bought back. So, what were the big events? We've seen technological advances far beyond anyone expected. We've seen some of the greatest guitar players that graced the planet, sadly pass away. We've seen skinny jeans, robot[...]
