Rhythm guitarists v. Lead Guitarists?

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

Which one is more difficult, which one is more important?
And what does the third guitarist do in bands like Iron Maiden or Blue Oyster Cult, coz I can never hear 3 guitars, it always sounds like 2 guitars and a bass. Who do you think is the best rhythm guitarist?

Guitar players- developing a ‘five fret stretch’?

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

I’ve been playing for a while now, and I guess I could call myself an ‘intermediate’ player- I was working on this blues rhythm riff in C the other day from www.wholenote.com. I can’t give the exact addres, but the lesson is called ‘Stretch Blues’. In it, it calls for playing the 3rd(C) fret on the A string and the 8th fret on the D string(B Flat) simultaneously-my acoustic is a full sized dreadnaught with a 25 1/2″ scale and I don’t exactly have huge hands to work with-any good stretching exercises out there?
