ILLUSTRATIONS

Successfully shredding a guitar lead can melt the minds of the listener and elevate a rock guitarist into super stardom. However, one terrible performance can put you on the wrong side of music history. When Guitar World magazine requested a visual representation of poor guitar lead categories, we delivered a set of illustrations that capture the themes in a playful way.
