List of rhythm guitarists

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of notable rhythm guitarists, arranged in ascending alphabetical order of last name. Rhythm guitarists perform a combination of two functions: they provide all or part of the rhythmic pulse in conjunction with other rhythm section instruments (bass and drums) and they provide all or part of the harmony, i.e. the chords.

For a list of lead guitarists see List of lead guitarists. Only add names here if the person has their own article on Wikipedia, please. Anything else will be removed.
