{ Lick That Riff! }

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 guitar song, I Believe In a Thing Called Love.

The Darkness formed in 2000 and had two albums; Permission To Land and One Way Ticket To Hell… And Back. They burst onto the scene with their amazing classic rock songs and their pink leotards and I think many people refused to take them seriously (including themselves) But beyond all the flamboyance are a really great band who produced some amazing riffs. I Believe In a Thing Called Love is something that every guitarist should have in their locker and one that is a really enjoyable song to play. So here it is:

And here’s how it should sound. Oh Yeah and play this very loud!

GUITAR!
