The Rhythm Aces
Popular music has its stars, and also those ‘other’
musicians that made major contributions yet are not very well known. Rhythm
guitarists are rarely the stars of a band, unless they happen to be the lead
singer, but no one can deny their importance to the music. Although the
guitarists featured in this piece are not as well known as most lead guitar
players, they deserve mention for their skill in driving the music of rock and
roll.

Fascinating article! Though I have always wanted to be a lead guitarist the reality is that I'm a better rhythm guitarist. This post helps me realize that's not a bad thing! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank-you Tom! Not too many people reading this one. I like to give some 'ink' to guitar players that are maybe not as well known as the 'big' stars.
