FENDER CHRISSIE HYNDE TELECASTER
By Chris Gill
► IN MY HUMBLE opinion, any list of rock’s greatest rhythm guitarists isn’t valid if Chrissie Hynde isn’t mentioned, preferably within the top half of the list or higher. Her playing on the Pretenders’ debut album alone is a master course in badass rock rhythm guitar, from the Brit-pop jangle of “Kid” to the sophisticated art-punk of “Tattooed Love Boys” with its jagged 7/16 time signature and dazzling start/stop middle section, which baffled even the highly talented James Honeyman-Scott.
