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,[...]

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. And this week's Hero comes in the form of the Legendary George Harrison. The lead guitarist in the Beatles and a great solo artist aswell.

Hello and welcome to another in the Hero Worship series. Hope you are all ok? Anyway, this weeks post takes us to 70's Glam Rock in the form of the legendary Marc Bolan. Big hair, big riffs and premature death all make this guitarist and frontman an icon. What Total Guitar Said: You Know Him By His: Corkscrew curls, pre-Slash top hat, feather boas and glam rock riffs. Greatest Moment: 20th Century Boy. Who said galm rock couldn't be heavy? David Bowie had more staying power and the New York Dolls' burnout tale is more[...]

Hello all. It's Wednesday again, which means another poll :-D Good Times! Last weeks poll went well but there was only ever going to be one winner for the Greatest 60's Guitarist and that was the Legend that was, Jimi Hendrix. Now to this weeks poll, which I would like to think is so much more open. This weeks poll is the Greatest 70's Guitarist. I think there were so many great Guitarists in this era and they were so evenly matched that this weeks poll is going to divide opinion completely. So here's the poll, P.S If I have left any[...]
