{ Lick That Riff! }

Hello everyone! Good weekend? Here's to this weeks post in the series of Hero Worship. This weeks worship goes to Kurt Cobain. A genius. A Revolutionary. A true great. What Total Guitar said about him: You know him by his: Fender Mustang and Jaguars, staggering songs. Greatest Moment: That four chord riff! Ok, so it might not be entirely accurate to say that Nirvan's, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" single-handedly swept away 1980's metal: bands like Tad, Mudhoney and Dinosaur Jr had already done their bit to weaken the foundations.[...]

Hello Everybody, How are you all? So to another Hero Worship post! And to another truly great guitar hero, especially one of the 90s and 00s. Tom Morrello!

Well the title says it all. To be honest if you've just met anyone from one of your favourite bands then I'll let you off. Maybe you've met one of your guitaring heroes before? Maybe the lead singer from the greatest rock band in history? Maybe the trumpet player from a 2 tone band you love? I thought that I would do this post as I actually have met a few of my heroes in the past. I have met one of the heroes in my Influential Guitarist post. But first I'm going to tell you the story of when I met Carl Barât, (For those of you who don't[...]

Alright Guys! And Girls ;-) Just starting a new post series called.... HERO WORSHIP!!!! So we can celebrate our guitar heroes in one place. Now I'm not going to pass this off as my own content as it's not. It's all going to be taken from Total Guitar with a little bit of commentary from me afterwards. So this weeks Hero worship starts off with a little known British guitarist called the Modfather! Paul Weller!!!!! What Total Guitar Said: You Know Him By His: Soulful voice, incendiary guitar style and love of fine tailoring Greatest[...]
