Interesting topic Rick,this is also the reason i find rhythm guitar players more interesting than lead players.When i opened up for Buena Vista social clubs Eliades Ochoa i sat with the band backstage and asked the rhythm guitar player if he played the 2-and,4 bass while simultaneously playing straight 2,3,4 rhythm(leaving the 1 out)which they donīt.When they play with a band they always start on the 4th of the beat and leave the one out!this can actually be harder since you have to listen carefully to the other musicians to interlock and groove.I thought iīd been playing it correct starting on the 2,3,4,(and leaving the one out) but although similar it grooves totally different!
