Oh, right Grandpa! Are you saying that Mr Baxter can't play rhythm guitar, either? No one was saying that a rhythm player is not important, duh! A wasted 'lecture' on someone who has played with various musicans. Surely, Mr Baxters' obvious talent is his ability to do BOTH very well. Something of which your ability, from the sound of your own admission, can only limp on half the story. Still, Grandpa knows best.
I think your refering to big rock riffs like Page's Heartbreaker, Black Dog ect.
He's refering to a different kind of rhythm playing. His advice is great for people playing with diff people...filling in...Pop funk, gigging to make money.
I don't play guitar and I'm not technically proficient in any instrument. I am a Hip Hop DJ/Track Producer. This series and any information like is excellent for anyone that wants to learn about popular American Music, how to listen to it, perform it properly and how it should be approached. It's great.
i agree his explanations on rhythm verse lead how they differ and why there so important and even how they came to be(big bands) i didnt realize that and found it refreshingly educational.i was trying to explain to a friend that rock n roll was really rhythm and blues but couldn't find the examples i needed to..but that's a little off subject
That's what so funny about the golden age of guitar playing from the 50-60's. You can hear but load of people in other people. I love how every now and again jive seems to sneak into his words "You want to be the grooviness thing happening". I guess that comes from being around as long as he has. XP

That widdley-diddley stuff has its place like anything else,but your criticism is typical from someone who can't solo in ANY fashion anyway!

I could listen to him talk about rhythm for hours. This info is hard to find.

You can definitely hear a lot of the Doobie Brothers in his playing (or maybe the other way around).
