The 70’s really was the area of great electric guitar rock bands. Strong riffs, beautiful solos and solid rock songs were emerging from the ground. It was a great decade for the guitar.
As students for life we are still reaping the fruits today when we are practicing and playing the songs from that time and learning from the minds of those creative guitar players.
