Lead Singer Plays Lead Guitar | comment |
The lead singer is often seen as the most recognizable member of the band and sometimes the main songwriter. The lead guitarist, meanwhile, is usually the second most recognizable member, astonishing the audience with flashy licks and guitar solos. Either one of these roles often requires a great amount of talent, and as such, the two members will just focus on mastering their instrument of choice. If either member decides to momentarily dabble in the other's role, it will often be for accompaniment. For example: the lead singer will play simple rhythmic chords, and the lead guitarist can do basic backup vocals. Then you have this person, someone who is excels at playing guitar licks, and singing lead vocals. Their ability to simultaneously master and play two different instruments at once shows this person is The Ace and can often cement their status as the face of the band. So much so that the other band members may feel overshadowed by said talent. This is often the case with solo guitarists who wish to sing their own songs. As well as Rock Trios with only one guitarist and said guitarist is the lead vocalist (or co-lead vocalist). It can also occur if the former lead singer quit the band or passed away and the lead guitarist has to Step Up to the Microphone. Compare Lead Bassist and Lead Drummer, where the bassist and drummer are the lead singers, respectively. Contrast Free-Handed Performer, when the lead singer solely does vocals without any other instrument in hand. Related to I Am the Band. |

The Archie Show took the main characters from Archie Comics, and formed them into a bubblegum band, with Archie Andrews as the main vocalist and lead guitarist. Reggie Mantle accompanies as the bassist, Betty Cooper plays tambourines, Veronica Lodge is the keyboardist, and "Jughead" Jones handles the main percussion (i.e. the drum kit). This setup continues into the show's various spin-offs. | |

Goo Goo Dolls: John Rzeznik, especially in the band's early years played Power Pop-inspired lead guitar and shared lead vocals with bassist Robby Takac. Downplayed as the years went on. While his status as a lead singer increased, eventually supplanting Takac's role as a vocalist, his guitar playing shifted to more of a rhythmic one, especially as the band started using fewer guitars to fit their more pop-inspired new direction. | |
