ps awsome video

yeah i wouldn't tune a single coil guitar lower than D. going down to C pretty much necessitates humbuckers.

your also right that Page was more of a Les Paul player but just like Hendrix sometimes played a Gibson they were never 100% exclusive to their main models.

glad you liked the clip

Page is a riff master, ergo, rhythms. Just because they also did solos doesn't mean they couldn't play rhythm.

I dunno, every song they ever made?

When a band only has one guitarist then usually that person has to fill the roles of both a lead and rhythm guitarist, the use of overdubbing is common.

i'm not really a fan. love hearing them on the radio when i'm on a road trip and that's about it. there's just no denying Malcolm is the man when it comes to playing rhythm guitar. he understands and appreciates the role implicitly, he never tries to show up his brother or to draw any attention away from the rest of the band. he just stands there, drives the groove, and rocks the f*ck out all night every night.

James Hetfield, of course. He truly is talented, call him the devil, or tell him he can't sing, the guy is crazy good.

agreed, he definitely helped reinvent what playing rhythm in a metal context was all about, but he's still no Malcolm Young hehehe.

the bit that killed me the most in that intro was the very last lick. that effing triplet of muted notes on 3 different strings threw me off every single time, especially after getting through the preceding riff-age of the intro hehe.

funny how combining riff-age gets censored haha

I would say Maiden uses more of a dual-lead/swap lead sort of style rather than a traditional rhythm/lead style.

It's hard to argue against Malcolm Young, he's one of the best at just rocking out the jam time and time again.

Default Keith Richards & Pete Townshend

The Rolling Stones & The Who, has produced some of the best rythm guitar ever, just my personal opinion.

Thumbs up

I don't know who played it-but one of my favorite rhythm guitar pieces is in "Roll on Down the Highway" by Bachman Turner Overdrive. Nuthin fancy but great chops that back up the lead playing perfectly!............ok, Malcom Young rules.

See imo Malcolm reinvented basic blues rock great band, especially the "Let there be Rock" album. Another couple of great rythm/lead guitarist are Dimebag Darell and Randy Rhoads. Rhoads was amazing.
