And speaking of rock, the art of the air guitar represents one of the most accessible musical forms, with participants requiring only two functioning arms and no discernable musical aptitude or instruments.

This year, the US Air Guitar World Championships have travelled countrywide to shortlist the best invisible axe men for this years final. Visit the site and you can marvel at contestants like C Diddy or the Rock Ness Monster and even generate your own rock handle.

The real star of the show is mc Bjorn Turoque (pronounced Born To Rock, obviously) who is a champion chopper and punner.

Those of you considering entering the Irish Air Guitar Championship could do worse than study his airobics video – where he freestyle moves like it’s going out of fashion. Creating signature moves is all about enthusiasm and passion but exercise caution – because broken air strings can be a bugger to fix.
