Lead or Rhythm Guitar Question?
Keep the lead guitar questions coming! I liked this one:
Question: Just want to know what they prefer to play
Iv started learning guitar, currently rhythm (only for about 5 months so far) and iv found it to be more relaxing and fun.
just want others opinions really..
I don’t see it more of who’s a better guitarist, more of a who loves what they play (as guitars more about fun rather than a overly serious hobby IMHO)
Answer: Dude if u wanna play rhyth play rhytm. I’m a lead guitarist in my band,but our rhythm guitarist is alot better than me but he enjoys rhythm. And rhythm guitarists usually have the hardest stuff to play. I mean Malcolm Young taught Angus Young how to play ( ACDC ) and Malcolm plays rhythm.

Rhythm guitar is good if you are gonna be singing because you can focus more on the vocals
also, sometimes less is more! You don’t need to shred to have fun playing guitar especially if you are just gonna play for fun… Why get frustrated playing something really hard??
Any guitarist, that isn’t a beginner, should be playing both. I find both very fun and don’t really prefer one over the other. Lead is fun in a very expressive way but getting in the groove and hitting some big fat chords is very enjoyable as well. To say you are a rhythm or a lead player is rather noobish (unless you are a noob, and that’s cool). Again any good guitarist should be doing some of both.
