FANTASY FRETS........

This page is all about guitars, covering all types of music from cock-rock to pyschedelia. We're not going to get all technical on you but expect tabs, pics, features and humour. As I always said, just watch this space. My co-editor aka Rishi has been long lost to the world of tissue paper manufacturing (long story). Any suggestions, links etc, please feel free to e.mail me.

This Month
This month we are going to get stuck into.....

Yes we are going to de-bunk the myths, sort out the wheat from the chaff and generally give it a good going over.

GUITARIST/BAND OF THE MONTH-LED ZEPPELIN

As we should all know by now each month we cover a band that can be regarded as a classic band in the history of rock (yep, it ain't long before our band is here soon, that is if we found one). This month we will have a version of the all time classic Stairway to heaven (the one that some Rolf Harris wanker pissed about with). It is played mainly on Jimmy Page's acoustic and amazingly for once he has used standard tuning. It has a simple fingerstyle picking and then the electric guitars add to the sound later.

Now we get right to the heart of the crucial matters by asking the big one: Big ROCK hairdos: good or bad???

TECHNIQUES
We investigate the bizarre and quite frankly unhealthy lengths some guitarists will go to just to show off....and dare you to follow them.
This month: Paul Gilbert, Billy Sheehan and Reeves Gabrels.

BASS STUFF
Is there life beyond roots and fifths?, who knows? This section is dedicated to the fat muthas, I mean the basslines that make it rock. This month the all time classic Another one bites the dust by Queen.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO............?
A look back through the murky mists of time at those guitarists who've had their 15 minutes of fame.

OTHER USEFUL LINKS

Open your horizon into that wide wide world of guitars, but none of them quite as bizzare as this one......
OLGA is NOT the name of a big russian woman but it is a good directory for tabs I have found so far. It also has a lot of bass tabs and it is the source of this homepage basically. If you haven't been there yet, then where have you been all your life?.....
The Guitar Haven is another very useful resource page, similar to OLGA, but it also has lessons and links to other pages and keen guitarists like me and you.
Great Guitar Sites on the Web Over 1,000 music and guitar sites are already listed here. This site operates to provide a service to the world's guitarists. Worth a visit as it has endless links

I will finish this page off in the near, very near future as well....Do mail me if you have any comments to make. Admittedly I have not updated this site for almost 3 years, which is when I just took up playing the guitar, which will also explain why I have covered Stairway to Heaven...I hang my head in utter shame and desbelief, how could I be so naive?...
