Later this week, U.S. air guitar superstars including McNallica (2007’s champ from Boston), Hott Lixx Hulahan (2006’s national victor) and Bjorn Turoque (star of Air Guitar Nation and author of To Air Is Human) will invade the Rolling Stone offices just hours before appearing at their national finals competition at New York’s Fillmore at Irving Plaza. We’ll be bringing you video of all their fast fingerwork and gratuitious guitar faces, and we’ll also be asking them to perform a few selections of our choosing in addition to classics from their repertoires. So you tell us: What songs would you like to see these air guitarists attempt on camera? Perhaps something from our cool guitar solos list?

Probably Eruption by Van Halen, Curly by John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers (with Peter Green), and Moonchild by Rory Gallagher

From the “coolest” list: definitely the guitar solo from “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” Air guitar was a booming trend in England during the HM movement of the late 70s and early 80s. Air guitar aficionados at that time made authentic looking guitars out of cardboard and would rock out during concerts with such acts as Iron Maiden, AC/DC, etc. That would be a fun trend to have take wings here in the U.S.A.!

-Anything off Boston’s first album.

-”Run Chicken Run,” Link Wray

-”Do You Feel Like We Do (Live),” Peter Frampton

-”Doctrinal Expletives,” Carcass

-”Skin Tight,” Ohio Players

best idea ever!

He appears to be playing with a 1/2 inch cock. Now that’s talent!

i can’t believe how uptight some people are! one beautiful aspect of air guitar is the fact that it actually upsets people this much! my favorite is when people say “i’ve been playing guitar for 30 years and this is an abomination!” are they really that threatened? it actually makes air guitar that much more rock n roll!

Max Power | 8/24/2007, 11:00 pm EST

Yeah, it’s cool. I like people who choose “air guitarist” as a profession. They eventually deliver my pizza.
