ORIGINAL: Ricardo More than just THIS genre, you can safely say rhythm guitar is the back bone of EVERY style of music involving guitar. (except classical guitar of course). Every virtuoso of any genre is also an excellent accompanist it seems. And if you ever work with a great rhythm guitarist, it suddenly becomes annoying to deal with mediocre rhythm players. Ricardo I split that in two. The second half I can really get behind. One of my pet hates is swing rhythm players or drummers who play ropey 'gypsy rumba', feels like dancing with a malfunctioning robot. The first half well Richard you are a naughty boy trying to provoke me and playing to the galleries. But all joking aside I find that the real classical guitar Virtuosi are excellent accompanists, accompanying the melody sensitively and interacting with it. I am certainly taking a lot more pride in my straight rhythm guitar than I ever did before. As always close listening and a respectful attitude are the best approach to any style. I try and ditch the shallow epithets as they are just a way of hiding from my own inadequacies. When I was twenty I thought I was better than Keith Richards, now I am less sure. D.
