I don't understand what it is, who needs a rythym gutarist? When your position in the band can be replaced by a $45 metal box, you have failed. In the order of getting laid after a show, the order goes:
Singer
Lead guitar
Drummer
Bassist
Keyboardist
Sound guy
Roadie
Sound Guy Assistant
Rythym guitar
See what I am saying? Due to my burnout, ass-whooping uncle I have been around the music industry for a long time. And in this time, I have learned how this stuff works. Rythym guitarists, used to be good and usefull, becuase they would just shut up and do what they are told. There also was a lack in the technology. But with today's wonderful technology and prices, they have been replaced by a shiny metal box that has multiple traits that are desireable in a rythym guitarist:
It doesn't bitch about the lack of importance.
It does what you want, when you want.
Low mantinence.
Costs nothing to take from show to show.
Only require a few batteries or 9.5v AC adapter to function.
Cool buttons to push.
3 assorted colors.
Now there are many that will disagree with me becuase they feel its important to have that "human" aspect in their band. But just remember, when its payday, you dont gotta pay a loop pedal...
