Throughout the lifetime of the electric guitar, in particular, and the course of pop culture history, there has become a prominent perception that lead guitar playing is the more complicated of the two approaches to the instrument, and that rhythm playing is simpler, more straightforward, and easier to perform. However, that is simply not the case, especially in the context of the country music genre.
