	Rhythm guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In jazz or swing music, the rhythm guitarist is also expected to integrate a moving bass or counter-melody in his or her playing.
		Rhythm guitarists usually aim to generate a stronger tone as the harmonics of the band, in contrast to the lead guitarists' goal of producing a cutting melody that can be heard through the sound of the rest of the band.
		Rhythm guitarists may employ an electric acoustic guitar or a humbucker-equipped electric guitar for a richer and fatter output.

	Rhythm
		Rhythm guitarists offer support, first of all, for all the great picking going on as well as the vocals.
		This is actually the most effective way to play rhythm on stage because of the "proximity effect," which involves the booming sound of rosewood-bodied guitars bluegrass players often use, as well as the fact that such a guitar is often heard better eight inches or so away from the mic than right in it.
		You constantly walk a tightrope as a rhythm player, keeping your own good innate sense of time (playing where you know the beat is), and listening to your bandmates to follow their groove and set it up at the same time.

		Strumming chords on a guitar is often thought of by aspiring guitarists as a rather mundane business that epitomizes what a rhythm guitarist is supposed to do (stand way back on stage, almost behind the drummer).
		While most guitarists at that time where busy growing their hair and squeezing into the tightest outfits money could buy, Marr was writing some of the most sophisticated pop songs of the decade.
		His rhythm parts always sound loose and bouncy, though they are much harder to reproduce than they actually sound.

	MusicPlayer Forums: Lead Guitarist vs. Rhythm Guitarist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		I like rhythm parts that have a lot of riffs, passing notes and so forth, and I like solos that are rhythmic and have a lot of two and three-note stuff going on.
		Oh yeah, and rhythm riffs are where it's at, and IMHO that's what's missing from a lot of drivel on the radio today- Instantly recognizeable, effective rhythm riffs that identify each song and set it apart from every other song on the album.
		The rythm guitarist in my band used to have a problem that he would sometimes stick little phrases in, often at a time when they shouldn't and usually it wouldn't be melodic...it wasn't like a melody it was more like a nervous tick...like too many notes, nothing clear.

	Twelvemonth Music - Contact Information
		In the context of jazz and rock music, and to some extent country music as well, the role of a rhythm guitarist is more or less confined to strumming chords.
		In the context of this study, however, rhythm guitar is defined much more broadly, so as to include a variety of styles of play that are based on chords.
		Equal emphasis is given to styles of play in which the strings of the guitar are struck with a pick (flatpick styles) and to styles of play in which the strings are plucked with the thumb and fingers (fingerstyles).

		It is very important in a 2 guitar band for the guitarists to be able to sit down together for hours on end and work out their respective parts, and I'm not talking two lead guitarists necessarily...
		I know most of us rhythm guitarists claim we're not into the 'spotlight kid' thing like our brotheren that solo, but we definately won't settle for the stool behind the drum riser, 2nd amp on your right...
		Anyway to paraphrase a well known ad: A rhythm guitarist is for life, not for Christmass.

	Rhythm and lead guitar question - GuitarLodge.com Forums
		When I first started playing, it was explained to me that "rhythm player" and "lead player" were ranks like "corporal" and "seargent" which everyone had to graduate from on the road to guitar mastery.
		Personally, my whole approach to music is improvisational, so I would go and find a "guitar player" (not a "rhythm player" or "lead player") to start with, and let his ability and flexibility define his role, and whether he is right for the type of sound you want your band to have.
		Or he might be an unimaginative rhythm player with a wonderful sense of melody, in which case it might be worth keeping him and getting another guitar player to add some rhythmic depth behind the melodies.

		While alot of rythem guitarist don't get as much fame as lead guitarists, the rhythm is what keeps the song together.

		Rhythming under solos is one of the hardest part of being a rhythm guitarist: it's usually super-fast and if you screw up, you screw up the solo.

	Rhythm royalty / Guitarist Roy Rogers and the Delta Rhythm Kings celebrate 25 years of the blues
		Roy's placement of the bottleneck on the pinkie of his left hand freed him to play rhythm and baseline elements of a song, while making melody with the slide, a kind of one-man band.
		A comment by a Midwest critic, to distinguish the slide guitarist from his namesake, led to the naming of Roy's song publishing and record company: Chops Not Chaps.
		Gaynell assumed marketing responsibility for Roy's newly formed Delta Rhythm Kings band, recognizing that "he wanted to stick to his roots of blues and rock, and to do it in a very grassroots way." She also shared parenting of Sam, Roy's young son by his first wife.

	Best Rhythm Guitarist - Just Plain Networking Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Rhythm guitar is a talent largely ignored by the public, but musicians understand how important the role is. The term is hardly used any more, and at one time was a kind of euphemism for "a guy who isn't good enough to play lead, so we let him play chords 'cause he's a good singer.".
		But as one-third of a trio, he had to play a lot of rhythm, and he developed a hybrid lead/rhythm style that was impressively musical in its approach.
		That's right there's no bass that means that his rhythm ability has to be top notch because there isn't a bass in the background keeping the rhythm going.

		Commonly referred to as the "rhythm guitarist's bible," this innovative book is a system of guitar chord formation which maximizes power voicing while minimizing left-hand movement!

		He decided to begin writing instructional materials due to the difficulty encountered by guitarists at playing good sounding chord forms in rhythm sections and due to the poor note reading ability prevalent among guitarists.
