For pub bands I'd say he is a much better benchmark rhythm guitarist than Nile. And there's Keith Richards, I'm not sure how comparisons are helpful though.

Unfortunately I've seen too many who treat "the band" as their opportunity to have a backing track while they endlessly bend strings and pull faces.

Japhet Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Anyone interested in this should check out Rob Harris on Youtube. He's the master of 'less is more'. Not only an absolute funk monster on guitar but also one of the nicest and most generous people you'll ever meet. This is a great example of a great funky riff that uses just 2 strings and 3 notes in total but sounds fab in my opinion.
