Same bro i can play rhythm guitar while standing up but i really can’t play any solos whilst standing 😂

Bassist doesn't really understand what "core" even means, so no hurt done.

He's a guitarist, so: Yes, you are a joke to him.

[@ryanmiddleton8514]

Core of the whole band *Drummers and Bass Players* "Am I a joke to you?"

[@thrashmetalambassador]

This is why I'm a bassist.

[@josephvahabzadeh1289]

"No ego, just enjoys rocking out" was probably the perfect description for the rhythm guitarist in the first garage band I was in.

I'm lead all the way but they are equally as important. I just love playing wether its smoke on water or playing dream theater I can't get enough

[@a.j.leclair5426]

@Higger Nater88 haha lol

[@ajdaniel8128]

Equally as important? Rhythm guitar is far more important. No Riffs = No Song. A Song can exist without solos and can be replaced with amazing variety of riffs and nobody would even notice

[@a.j.leclair5426]

[@HarryNelson-vy5jw]

@@ajdaniel8128 the point is who makes it the best

[@dhollsynthmusic]

Can you imagine a rock song without the lead guitarist? Of course: with rhythm, bass, vocals & drums you've basically still got Nirvana. Can you imagine a rock song without the rhythm guitar? Can you imagine a rock song with no rhythm? No riff, no party.

[@yunamadsimackomen881]

Good point

[@jungleblobs5225]

Municipal Waste has no solos whatsoever and they sound amazing, Blood And Thunder has no solo but some harmonization, but overall it's mostly rhythm: sounds awesome

[@brianbergmusic5288]

If you don't have riffs, you don't have metal.

As a lead guitarist, i can confirm that this is 100% true

[@JimmyKilmister]

You portrayed me so well except having the wife part (I'm a lead player btw)

[@rynn409]

Oh, so you don't know your wife gets nailed by her BF, you scored an extra point!

[@jontraz5993]

@@rynn409 you're technically correct and petty enough to post this. As self-appointed judge, I'm finding this hilarious and am allowing the extra point.

[@turbotunna3794]

I showed this to my wife - her bf thought it was hilarious!! There were some super tasty licks in that solo man! Over great riffage too!!! As funny as the whole thing was, your playing never compromises so respect like a footlong poo to you for that.

[@Zepla]

as a rhythm guitarist this is extremely true

[@johnstarsh]

damn i didn't know i was a lead guitarist until today

[@ericmiller4208]

I'm kinda in between but without the rhythm all lead guitarist would be lost. If I'm playing lead I most often will start by following the rhythm guitarist

[@High_on_Life777]

To be a good lead one must first be able to play awesome rythm

[@marcblum5348]

20 years ago, I moved from guitar to bass.

[@nikolakrastev8880]

I am a lead guitarist and yes playing while standing is difficult.

[@khristopherkomodoensis4734]

Bold of you to assume the lead guitarist has a wife and can transcribe stuff

[@morusalba6405]

if you can't transcribe just play violin concertos. however, you'd have to at least have a basic understanding of reading sheet music or play by ear. i can't help about the wife part though....

[@gogito7448]

Technically rhythm is leading the lead to be in rhythm

[@mallgothgf]

as a rythym player mostly, this is 100% true

[@ACowIsHuge]

Like dave mustaine said it everyone wants to play solo nowadays. And then there are lead Players.

[@holliswilliams8426]

these skits are so accurate lol

[@anidiotsguide757]

Painfully accurate

[@Leki-jc1nr]

Very comedic video british man

[@lieutenantsqueebles]

I'm a rhythm guitarist except I can't play standing up. When I do I get really angry for no reason. It's like my Flying V is literally insulting me while I'm jamming, and then suddenly I just REALLY want to eat a cheeseburger.

[@skaterpulse6746]

Lead players envy rhythm players for the easier playing style and the rhythm players envy the lead players for their sheer skill. As a rhythm player I'm always in awe at lead guitarists at gigs and such. It's an amazing skill to have
