{ Lick That Riff! }

Hello everyone hope you're all ok. It's feeling more like spring now with the sun. This weeks riff comes from one of the best, if not the best, rock guitarists ever. And from a band that plays rock n roll harder than any other. The guitarist was Angus Young, the band AC/DC and the song Back In Black. It came from the 1980 album with the same name and was the bands first album release since the death of their singer Bon Scott. Rolling Stone Magazine placed it at 29 in the 100 greatest guitar tracks of all time. And it is one of the best[...]

Who all gave[...]

Hello everybody and welcome to the second edition of the weekly feature, Guitar Duel. Last week saw Jimmy Page take on Keith Richards and to be honest I thought it might have been more of a contest. But you voted 11 for Page and just 2 for Richards. So Jimmy Page won that Guitar Duel by a landslide. But now onto this weeks Duel. A tasty affair indeed. They hail from two of the biggest Rock bands in history. One classed more as Heavy Metal, one more as Hard Rock. They formed 8 years apart in 1973 and 1981. The bands are of course,[...]
