{ Lick That Riff! }

Hello everybody and welcome to a new feature within the blog... Guitar Duel. This is going to be a weekly feature where I pit two legendary guitarists against each other and you lot have to vote on who you think is the better guitarist. I must admit some of these choices will be hard to bare, almost like choosing who is the favourite out of your Mother or your Father. So grit your teeth and get ready to make some agonising but amazing choices. Right, lets get on with the first in the series. This weeks Guitar Duel is going to be[...]

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.

Apparently it[...]

Alright Everyone, Good week so far? I thought I would continue my poll on the Greatest Guitarist of each decade and this weeks is about the 60's. Last weeks 50's winner was Les Paul, and thanks for all of you that voted. Here is this weeks poll. Who was the greatest 1960's Guitarist?

But I would still like to hear your thoughts as there may be a few of you out there that think differently. Also this was such a great[...]

Alright Everyone. How are you? Hope you're all trying the riff challenge? If not then you can always start here ;-) This week's riff is from a true great.
