Air Guitar, Pt.1


Late August is my favourite time of the year.  Not only is it my birthday, it's also my mate Raj's birthday, and Michael Jakson's as well.  But more than that, it's the Air Guitar Championships every year in Oudu, Finland.  This year was an incredibly special event with the first female winner since the championships began.  In anticipation, I hosted this two-hour show devoted to all things guitar.  We go from Steve Vai to Steve Howe, Peter Green to Paul Gilbert, John Frusciante to Jimmy Page.  There's also ten minutes of howling and wailing on Funkadelic's Maggot Brain (Alternate Mix).  Looking up the song on Wikipedia, it gives the name's origins as either guitarist Eddie Hazel's nickname, or a reference to singer George Clinton's decomposed dead brother.  So there you go.  The show can be downloaded by clicking on the title above.
