Blurring the lines…
Many guitar techniques, perhaps most, can’t really be categorised as either purely for rhythm or purely for lead, and a ‘chords and solos’ way of thinking may actually limit your creativity. Here we’re looking at a mixture of ideas that bridge the gap between rhythm and lead. They are, of course, short examples but play through each one with the aim of developing the musical ideas. Each line could easily be more focused on lead or more on chords... or neither. It’s up to you!
