“Number One with an AXE! A Look at the Guitar’s Role in America’s #1 Hits, Vol 6, 1980-84” $3.99 November, 2019


The early 80s saw guitar gods of the 70s (notably Brian May, David Gilmour and Eddie Van Halen) suddenly playing on #1 hit songs. Plus, some new guitar heroes (notably Stevie Ray Vaughan and Prince) emerged into the spotlight on #1 hits.

Join Michael Rays as he rates the #1 hits of the early 80s based on four guitar criteria: Riffage, Rhythm Playing, Fills and Solos. He includes a brief commentary on each song, as well as video links (when available) so you can watch and listen to each tune.

For guitar lovers, this ebook is more fun than you can shake a capo at!
