The one and only Steve Cropper

.

Teleblooz · May 22nd, 2008, 06:37 PM

The one and only Keith Richards.

Otter · May 22nd, 2008, 06:37 PM

I know he does both on occasion, but how about ol' Keef? I always considered him the "rhythm" player and Brian, Mick, and Ronnie as the "leads"

Early Bob Dylan

Otter · May 22nd, 2008, 06:38 PM

Beat me to it.

And BTW, I meant early ELECTRIC Dylan

Robsocal · May 22nd, 2008, 06:53 PM

Bobby Weir

Chrissy Hynde

Tom Petty

PraiseCaster · May 22nd, 2008, 06:55 PM

And while he's known as a lead player, his rhythm work is stellar (in my book at least):

Jimmy Page.

fenderelectric1 · May 23rd, 2008, 12:42 AM

I always liked Pete Townshend a lot. Windmill time

SatelliteOrders · May 23rd, 2008, 12:51 AM

Buck Owens
Dave Pirner

Elliot Easton · May 23rd, 2008, 01:58 AM

Cornell Dupree, Steve Cropper, Pop Staples, Keith Richards, Curtis Mayfield, Tommy Tedesco, Funk Brothers Joe Messina and Eddie Willis to name but a few. Of course most, if not all of them also play lead but how many players just play one or the other? Not many who I would consider 'complete' players.

morroben · May 23rd, 2008, 02:05 AM

Jeff Tweedy plays a tele quite a bit.

teleyouk · May 23rd, 2008, 02:25 AM

Al McKay

Sollophonic · May 23rd, 2008, 06:37 AM

Frank Black/Black Francis
Rick Parfitt
Hugh Cornwell (though some of his solos are sublime)
Robert Quine
Wilko Johnson (though he mixes lead/rhythm)

+2 on Steve Cropper!

Del Pickup · May 23rd, 2008, 07:07 AM

Didn't David Knopfler play a tele on the first couple of Dire Straits albums? His rhythm playing was fairly important in the mix to allow his big brother to fill the holes!

woobag · May 23rd, 2008, 07:08 AM

Wilko Johnson and, of course, Steve Cropper.
