What is Rhythm section?
A '''rhythm section''' is the group of musicians in a [[rock music]], [[jazz]], or [[country music]] group who play their instruments to set out the pulse or [[Beat (music)|beat]] of the music. This is played in [[Accompaniment (music)|accompaniment]] to the rest of the band. Some of the rhythm section instruments, such as the [[guitar]] and the [[piano]], also play the [[chord progression]] (sequence of chords) that a song is based upon. Some rhythm section instruments, such as the drums and percussion, are just used to set out the beat. Most rhythm sections include a bass instrument, such as the [[bass guitar]] or the [[double bass]], which plays the deep, low notes of the chord progression. == References == {{Reflist}} [[Category:Musical groups]] {{music-stub}}
