I can only feel a burn in my shoulders and nothing in my biceps, is this to do with bad form? Or am I working my biceps too often? I have been going to the gym for two months four times a week, and tend to work my biceps 3 times a week, is this too often? I usually do hammer curls, dumbbell bicep curls, straight bar curls, 21s, and preacher curls, thanks for the help.

Yes, find someone of a decent size in your gym and get them to check your form on curls.
Also consider curling with your back and shoulders pinned back against a wall. Remember all the movement should be in the elbow. Your shoulder should remain relativly still.
Yes, it is a small muscle group and easily exhausted. Once a week, twice at most would be my advice.My powerlifting and death/thrash metal log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=141720221&p=843503391&posted=1#post843503391

Not until you've really mastered the strict form. You want your hands to stop at 11 o' clock. Keep your elbows pinned by your sides.
YOu are able to get a strong contraction/overload on the biceps by allowing your elbows to travel forward, but it is kind of an "advanced" move for the curl. Generally people new to the lift won't gain any benefit doing so, and just get extra work on their shoulders.-
