Rhythm Players...

[DuncanCE22]

Hetfield! as far as rhythm guitarists go he is somewhat of an idol for me. to the point when ever I learn a metallica song I don't even bother the learning the lead, the rhythm parts just sound so good and most importantly they're incredibly fun to play!

Brad Whitford. Surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet.

Huge ‘hell yeah’ on Whitford.

Nike Rodgers, Al McKay, Ray Parker Jr, and dear lord... Paul Jackson Jr. those guys are kings!

Also James Hetfield.

there's this small band I like to listen to, seems like nobody's heard of them. the Heartbreakers with Tom Petty,

I think the guitar player in that band Mike Campbell is a master guitar player of rhythm and just the right amount of lead.

Couldn’t agree more!

And look at the Foo Fighters...a whole gaggle of rhythm players and none step on the others’ toes.
