Guitar heroes

Aah the guitar. Perhaps the quintessential instrument of the modern era. So popular that nearly everyone cans strum a few chords and whip one out round a campfire for a singalong, and so versatile that guitar is a central component of almost all modern musical genres. Yet only a few players have risen to the dizzy heights of guitar virtuoso, and many of these were wielding their instruments and thrilling us with compelling riffs and beguiling solos in rock bands of the Seventies. On this week’s show we highlight these guitar heroes and their talents. Long may they rock.
