The timeless riff from Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin had been recently posted in the Riffs section of this site.
(Yes, it's the overplayed anthem that you hear on every Cadillac commercial). The Links page is also up and running
New features and additions to Guitarquo are still under construction.

Ahhhh, brand new site, hard work. It's still under some major construction so bear with me. This site would
not be possible without the help of Mike. Kudos for you.
Little Timmy, did you know that a long, long time ago, rock & roll was actually good? Really?
The 60’s, 70’s, and perhaps even the early 80’s were the
periods of zenith in British and American rock & roll creativity. The Beatles,
Rolling Stones, Clapton, Hendrix, ACDC, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Who,
and the list goes on…
Today, you turn on the radio, all you hear is this
alternative/neo-punk/techno crap. Okay, I have to admit, there are some good
alternative/neo-punk/techno crap and yes, I respect and acknowledge the opinion
and taste of others. I’m not urging people to boycott this type of “music”,
although it would be nice, there are always exceptions to the rule…
But unless you consider a 2-note piece of synthesized
garbage that’s played repeatedly while some dumbass screams unintelligibly into
a microphone as music (and imagine, they sell this to you for money!),
you would be most dissatisfied or perhaps even worried about the future
rock scene.
Never fear, there is still good in the world. A host of
young rockers with actual talent (oh gosh, talent?) are here to rescue
rock and roll from destruction: The Darkness,
The White Stripes (well, at least
Jack White), Jet, and The Strokes.
