Bassnut62 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1414139203' post='2586225'] Anything with Nile Rodgers or Keith Richards in it. [/quote] I wouldn't describe Nile Rodgers guitar playing as simple. It is effective; but remarkably complex in its apparent simplicity. Quite a lot of his playing is very hard to do too, at least if it's going to be done right. Frankly, nobody I have ever heard sounds exactly like Nile Rodgers, which says something about the man's marstery of rhythm guitar.

Bassnut62 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 [quote name='The Admiral' timestamp='1418420319' post='2630192'] Nile Rodgers makes it sound simple, but it's actually an incredibly hard style to master. Very underrated and innovative player, and a very clever and decent chap to boot. Lesson from Justin here : [url="http://www.justinguitar.com/en/RF-007-LeFreak.php"]http://www.justingui...007-LeFreak.php[/url] [/quote] here, here....and Le Freak is remarkably hard to get right...most players murder it, including me!

Kiwi Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 What I like so much about it that its a very accessible style but there are still nuances to seek out once the basics are understood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1413938083' post='2583930'] Can it get much simpler than this?

GrammeFriday Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Stranglers - Nice n Sleazy. Come to think of it, pretty much any Stranglers song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlandtrees Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Think that Brass in Pocket by the Pretenders a good example of the hook being a simple guitar riff. Lots of stuff has good rhythm guitar that is not necessarily hooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
