Lucas Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Ritchie Havens Great, unique acoustic rhythm style, and one of the most mind blowing stories was that when he played Woodstock, he had finished his set, but because of traffic, the next few acts were late and not ready to play .. Ritchie was asked to kill some time, and on the spot, he came up with the song "Freedom" .. It was loosed based around a hymn he sung as a kid called "Motherless Child", and he said he came up with the word freedom because of what he saw when he looked out into the audience .. His band just joined right in, totally improvised 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) If Eddie Van Halen plays rhythm, who plays lead, and what's the difference between the two? Edited March 6, 2019 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClashWho Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 If Eddie Van Halen plays rhythm, who plays lead, and what's the difference between the two? Generally speaking, rhythm guitar is chord work that forms the foundation of a song and lead guitar is single note soloing. Single guitarists in bands (Rush, Who, Zep, Queen) are thus often pulling double duty. So, in answer to your more specific question, when Eddie Van Halen is playing rhythm guitar, the lead line is most likely whatever David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar is singing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start at around 14:00 on this vid and the guy breaks down the rhythm part, then the solo. Jamie's Cryin' has the same kind of effect going on. There's the lead (Wooowwww..wah...wah-woooowww...), and the opposing rhythm track that follows the bass (chunk...chunk-chunk...chunk-chunk..duhhh-duh-duh-duh...chunk...chunk-chunk...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Tony Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore, Brian May. A guy not mentioned here Malcolm Young's brother. He's playing much of the same riffs as his brother, he's not just playing lead and standing around is he? And he probably wrote at least 50% of the riffs or maybe more than that. So Angus Young is another great rhythm player. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 The Edge Andy Summers Two excellent choices. The Edge's hyper-percussive approach, plus his particular use of echo, really were innovative. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
