Lead Guitar

I have a question about Playing Rhythm guitar or Lead Guitar?

I was just asked by my friend if i wanted to join his new band as rhythm guitarist and i don’t know if im that good so i wanted to know if it’s easier to play rhythm guitar or is it easier to play lead guitar?

Most lead guitarists also play rhythm. If someone is designated strictly as a rhythm player, they probably don’t play too many leads. So in that respect, one might say that rhythm guitar is easier.

However, a “really good” player (either rhythm or lead) understands and exploits the role. Look at it like this…playing really good rhythm is more challenging than playing so-so lead.

I would say that it is pretty common that a player starts out as rhythm, gets better and better at that, and also gradually works in lead skills.

On tracks like “Black Dog,” “Misty Mountain Hop,” and “Rock and Roll,” the combination of Robert Plant’s banshee wails and Jimmy Page’s frenetic guitar playing forever altered the st…

Led Zeppelin II $5.62 Riff rock had been what Jimmy Page’s former band, the Yardbirds, were all about, and on Led Zeppelin’s second album, released, like its predecessor, in 1969, the inventive guitarist demonstrated that he’d indeed learned his lessons well. Witness “Whole Lotta Love,” a woozy epic based on one simple, head-banging-friendly guitar riff. Or the mock-dramatic “Heartbreaker,” propelled by far more intric…
