lead vs rhythm guitar 

There is nothing wrong with anything that provides good function and value.

I personally like to play rhythm guitar over lead.

Rhythm is better

It all comes down to usage...even Yanni is WOWed when he has to stop playing and listen to the Bass or Violin solo... Where lead is appropriate, rhythm ain't covering that - and vise versa.

Hell ya just look at METALLICA!!!

True

True

Dimebag

Also steve vai srv jimi hendrix yngvie buckethead .. i could go on and on.. i myself blow at leads.. i can do rhythm and some scaling but straight up lead is for better more experienced players.. And this dude.. just omg.. wow.. wish i could be his singer anyday..

But I can

Thank you

That's how I would've put it as well

I mean isn't a bassist supposed to fill the rhythm gap between guitar and drums

Yup

Industrial metal wants to talk.

Is this Magbalik of Callalily? HAHAHAHHAHA

That's the most accurate description I ever read. They should teach that in guitar beginner lessons. 😁

Yes

Yeah, basically

wouldn't you still need both for a well structured song just because a song doesnt have a solo doesn't mean the lead shouldnt be in

FelixFTW well yes, I’m just saying that’s it’s mostly the lead that does the soloing when there is one

Funny Destroyer yo same profile pic

@@KidJames81 Oh, true, we have a real good taste my friend

Well yes, but actually no.

As a bassist, this is 100% accurate. I took off every string except for my E brcause there is no need for anything else

Bassist: Æ

Root notes.

Yes

Johsua Lim That'd just be each of them messing up and blaming the other

No

Bassist vs. drummer = "A guy that won't learn the song vs. a guy who didn't bother to learn the song."

Johsua Lim a drummer couldn’t even understand the plight of a bassist, we are both melodic and percussive while theyre stuck in their caveman ways. This is a joke^

Johsua Lim It would be cvilized conversations, seeing as only beings who have ascended a physical form play bass and drums.

@Logan Fish no no, hes got a valid point

Bass: E

I just cooked ramen in my mouth

That's what I've been saying my whole life lol

@@Dicey6969 ew

This is one of the greatest comments of all time

I have finally witnessed everything the world has to give.

Actually that's for the drums.

@@リンクです I see your a man of culture.

Evincer Fyle so u ain’t a lead guitarist

I'm a Rhythm guitarist. When someone ask me to do some metallica riffs (ex. Master of puppets) idk why the downpicking intro becomes an iron maiden song, but in the end is funny

Then you're not a rounded guitar player. I personally finger pick and use my thumb as the rythym, or play rythym into my loop pedal and then solo over the top

I'm a rhythm one but I am trying to do both things so I can play various stuff. It is nice to hear warm words from both sides, thanks. I aprecciate everyone that plays an instrument, even if they are total begginers, we should all be together not apart

@@titanicthegreatesticebucke430 not everyone is super skilled

Ossi Lead quits the band 3 times in under 20 minutes, Rhythm throws a punch then the whole thing gets denied on twitter

Hahahaha thats a fact.

Lmao, Lead Jared insulting Rhythm Jared's mom and vice versa

John Johnson poor Mrs.Dines

I must've gotten lucky. My best friend was the rhythm guitarist in our band and I was the lead. We never had issues. Then again both our egos were in check. If he had some sort of idea for a solo and he wanted to try and play it, I was game for it.

@Adam Liu yes, though anime openings are more melodic

The first riff sounds like something While She Sleeps would do and I dig it!

@Adam Liu talking bout melodic lines Japanese rock songs are easily the best in the whole wide world

Sound epic

is it an original song?

this is probably one of the funniest things ive ever read

lmao

*Kirk learns guitar* , indeed ...

Unless it's also symphonic, in which case they both turn into rythm guitarists when the cheap-ass samples come in.

Or prog, where everyone does fuckall polyrithms, 13/32 time signatures and all possible musical genres, simultaneously, at unison.

😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Haha exactly what I thought!

Remember in a metal band, drums come first.. Then rhythm, lead, vocals, bass etc.

Same. Repeat value.

Come back again

Rhythm is more fun for actual arranged music. Lead is way more fun when there's a sense of improv involved.

@@DomSchu I do have more fun with the rhythm

OR... instead of writting songs he can invest that time in actually developing his rhythm guitar by studiying Flamenco, Gipsy Jazz, Swing, Funk, Ranchera etc... "Need percussion? No problem I can emulate that on guitar." "You need me to create an emotional athmosphere using emotionally ambiguous chord progression by using accents, dynamics and even moments of silece as part of my rhythm? No problem." When you are actually good at rhythm guitar you will stand out without writting songs or riffs. One example would be rhythm guitarist Gabriela from Rodrigo Y Gabriela almost nobody pays attention to Rodrigo xD.

I hate how true this statement is but it’s so freaking true. Mainly the only leads know how to is shred and stuff like that but I learned rhythm before leads and as I’m learning my leads I’ve been studying theory and it has seriously helped in writing rhythm and leads for me. I play a progressive metal style so it fits perfectly

There’s an example of a rhythm guitarist who gets more credit than the lead guitarist. Ever heard of Keith Richards?

Enrique Patron way too less dual guitar harmonisation

Both is the most harmonic on Rock!

you know there are lots of bands that have 2 guitarist like slayer, megadeth, death, lamb of god and many more....so no hate but just saying

Ooof

Kaosware agreed

Lead jared is such a showoff..

I prefer the BASS

Well it’s pretty damn close to it now

Wow you just kamikazed both the rhythm and lead guitarists and even yourself. Thats impressive

Play both

As a rhythm guitarist I must say I have never been so offended by something 100% true

r/kamikazebywords

AHAHA thats funny

Schlabbes i enjoy both Cus im alone... :"(

I feel like it's not boring if you're good at it.

I prefer rhythm, it just feels right for my playing style. I've tried playing lead before but I always go back to wanting to do rhythm

You're not alone my friend, rhythm guitarist for choice here

I've been playing 3-4 years and i can relate lol

Yes you are right

Or just get you a guitarist who can do both (e.g. Jimmy Page) 😎

@@nick3718 are you back yet

@@smkyone yeah my dad did the same 16 years ago

The singer can easily set the melody of the song. If you ask me. Being a great rhythm guitarist is more valuable of an asset than the leads because the rhythm and riffs are what drives the song to begin with amd likely the first thing you remember. Look at Pete Townshend and Scott Ian. Amazing rhythm players and probably shitty leads

@@necrodamus5481 Yes, I definitely agree. Another good example of that is Sublime, which happens to be my profile pic. Bradley was not only the lead/rythm guitarist, he was the lead singer, and was great at writing melodies to go with his funky rhythm instrumentals

@@SunnyD420 True. Huge Sublime fan btw respect to that dude R.I.P. Bradley Nowell

Bruh.. Saaaammmee

I always found it weird how a lot of bands constantly have both guitarists playing the exact same thing. I understand that soloing isn't something to be overused, but often they could just have simple leads or chords that are somewhat higher in pitch. Instead, it's the exact same power chords and riffs until the solo comes in.

MeowTheRainbowX Its bc its creates a louder thicker sound of badasstry. Korn wouldn't be korn without two guitar players

How many shows have you been at?

+FadedFades I get that. I just think that at least some of the time, both guitarists should do something a little different. You can do great things with riffs and rhythms when both guitarists are complementing each other. Also, I've heard bands with only one guitarist that had excellent guitar tone. Listen to Night Verses if you don't know what I'm talking about, especially their early stuff. As much as I like thick guitar textures, both guitarists don't have to always do exactly the same thing.

FadedFades "if you like korn though"

Nah it’s 1:56 What drugs are u on???

1:37 reminds me of something off alter bridge

@@PSXBOX-lz1zq check out honey and whiskey by daddy rock

Yeah dude that part does sound tight. I've always been big on identifying which guitar riffs are bad ass and which ones aren't as cool even tho I literally never play guitar and when I try i fail miserably. I'm a drummer.

oh lord i just came back to this after like 2 years of being demotivated to play and how the hell does it have 160 likes

i agree man, i'm a rhythm player, i prefer doing the heavy rhythms, however rhythms do have lead sections when you harmonize them with the lead player, witch makes it sound even better

I agree with you but sad enough everyone voted for me to be lead guitarist for the band I'm in when I wanted to be rhythm so badly

Wolfysharpfang I'm no guitar player but as a fan I find a badass riff much more compelling than solos. Some solos are captivating and genuinely fantastic, others are just song filler and kind of pointless.

Yep. Same here, i'd love do be the rhythm player, so I can DJENT
