Green Day and Queen 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) To some, this may be a stupid question, but... What's the difference between a rythym guitar and a lead guitar? And please, no smart @$$ answers like "One plays rythym and another leads." You rock if you help me. Edited June 1, 2006 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewYorkMets9 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2006 Umm, this is kind of hard to put into words. The rhythm plays....rhythym parts. Usually thats just chords that fill in the sound and keep time. Lead plays, I guess, the more challenging parts. They'll solo or play something outside of the basic riff. If you're a Queen fan, listen to "Tie Your Mother Down". If I'm not mistaken, during the solo you can hear Brian playing the riff (rhythym) and soloing (lead) over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
