The outbreak of coronavirus has hit millions of careers hard, but musicians have been among the worst affected, with tour dates cancelled, releases postponed, and thousands of dollars of income lost - some of it never to be recouped.

Guitar World wants to help guitarists and bands who have had their lives affected by the pandemic, and that’s why today, we are officially launching Sick Riffs - a new video series that aims to help those affected and teach you guys something new, too.
