“You shouldn't hear the guitar by itself. It should be part of the drums so it sounds like the drummer is playing chords -- like the snare is in A or the hi-hat in D minor. You only notice the guitar when it's not there.”
[Denyer, Ralph, The Guitar Handbook, 2002, Alfred A. Knopf, 88, 0-679-74275-1]
