Guitarra solista
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
El término guitarra solista ("Lead Guitar", en inglés), es el equivalente en castellano a la "primera guitarra", dentro de una banda, ya sea de rock o cualquier otro estilo musical. La guitarra solista ( a veces llamada guitarra líder) es la que ejecuta los solos cuando el tema lo requiere. Un ejemplo muy claro es Saul Hudson (slash) en el tema civil war, de Guns N' Roses.
Del mismo modo, guitarra rítmica (Rhythm Guitar, en inglés) equivale a la "segunda guitarra".
En la actualidad, la distinción entre guitarra rítmica y guitarra solista ha perdido toda su importancia, pues cuando en un grupo hay más de un guitarrista, lo habitual es que se repartan entre ellos el trabajo. Grupos como The Rolling Stones carece de guitarra solista, siendo amnbos "guitarristas de riffs", que se reparten las intervenciones según el tema lo requiera.
