As we head into the future for guitarists in Australia, and particularly the West Coast, we take the time to acknowledge and honour the West Australian guitarists of our past (and present) who have laid the foundations for those who are to follow in their footsteps.

Here is where you will find interesting facts, inspirations and information about our W.A. 'Guitar Gods'.  As this site grows, so too shall the list of great players.  We will endeavour to not only include those who have reached successes in Australia and overseas in the past 40 years, but will also include new and upcoming guitar stars who will continue the legacy of the West Coast Guitar Gods.
