I play both. If I’m practicing a song, I play what’s required for rhythm. Sometimes it’s me playing and my daughter singing and that is my least favorite way to play. I like playing with others. I don’t like being the ONLY player because I like to break out of the rhythm more and not be tied to holding it down all the time. Sometimes I play along with another rhythm player and I play some rhythm, some fills melody or harmony, and then leads. Sometimes I play with multiple instruments, and I only play fills, melodies, leads. There are multiple scenarios I’m playing in now. From me being the only instrument with my daughter singing, to a semi-weekly gig with an acoustic rhythm player who sings, and I play rhythms and all leads, to playing with a bluegrass group (5 other instruments) to last Sunday playing with our orchestra. I sat right next to 3 violins and a cello, and played smooth singing lead medlies and harmonies throughout a song (Dumble preset on the AA3) with a 30 person orchestra and 70 person choir.
At home, I play rock and roll and spend more time trying to keep my chops up than working on rhythm playing. I work on smooth singing melodious type leads, and sometimes I play, really... really... pretty loud. I know you thought I was going to say “fast” but I didn’t.
