What should you do when you're not soloing? Great Things - Phil Wickham

how to rhythm guitar Oct 26, 2022

As a guitarist, I always loved the so-called Lead Guitar parts. The riffs, the solos, the hooks, so I always wanted to become one. So much so that, for a while, I never really cared for the chords and the rhythm session of the band. The reality is that the solo or the hook is just a small part of the song. Actually, 90% of a song will be chords and rhythm.

It didn’t take long for me to understand that I had to get into the rhythm part in order to be able to be part of a band. And then is when I realized that to become a great Lead Guitarist, I first needed to be a great Rhythm Guitarist. I cannot be a great Lead if I have no clue what is going on in the Rhythm session. And you know what? Once you get it right, it will be one of the most fun things to do.

In this video I’ll give you an example of a song I play at church, called Great Things, by Phil Wickham. There are some very cool parts, hooks and dynamics that can make your guitar playing very fun.
