One topic I don't see mentioned often is that of the role played by a guitarist in supporting a singer. Just look at those R&B guys, you don't hear any flashy lead licks, or Smoke on the Water type power chords.. Actually, individually you don't hear them at all, but their work is essential to the overall sound. The band is there for one reason, to support the singer, to make him or her sound at his or her best.

I'd love to see a lesson or piece on this topic, as I'm a singer myself who also plays guitar. Would love to find transition chords (for lack of the correct term) which would smooth out chord changes while I sing.


Itchin to play,

Izzy
