  • Lead guitar refers to the use of a guitar to perform melody lines, instrumental fill passages, and guitar solos within a song structure. In rock, heavy metal, blues, jazz and fusion bands and some pop contexts as well as others, the lead guitar lines are usually supported by a second guitarist who plays rhythm guitar, which consists of accompaniment chords and riffs, often played with a distortion effect. In some, with two guitarists the two performers may perform as a guitar tandem, and trade off the lead guitar and rhythm guitar roles. Alternatively, two or more guitarists can share the lead and rhythm roles throughout the show, or both guitarists can play the same role ("dual lead guitars" or "dual rhythm guitars"). Oftentimes several guitarists playing individual notes may create chord patterns while mixing these "harmonies" with mixed unison passages creating unique sound effects with sound altering electronic special effects such as doublers or a "chorus" effect that over-pronounce the lead significantly sometimes to cut through to be heard in loud shows or throw its sound aesthetically both acoustically or electronically. To create lead guitar lines, guitarists use scales, modes, arpeggios, licks, and riffs that are performed using a variety of techniques. In rock, heavy metal, blues, jazz and fusion bands and some pop contexts as well as others, lead guitar lines often employ alternate picking, sweep picking, economy picking and legato, which are used to maximize the speed of their solos or riffs. Such "tricks" can employ the picking hand used in the fret area and even be augmented and embellished with devices such as bows or separate electronic devices such as an EBow. Some even like to play with their teeth or feet or other bodily appendages or the like. In a blues context as well as others, lead guitar lines are created using call and response-style riffs that are embellished with string bending, vibrato and slides. In rock, heavy metal, blues, jazz and fusion bands and some pop contexts as well as others, the lead guitar line often involves melodies (as well as power chords from the rhythm guitars) with a sustained, singing tone. To create this tone on the electric guitar, guitarists often select certain pickups and use electronic effects such as effects pedals and distortion pedals, or sound compressors, or doubler effects for a more sustained tone, and delay effects or an electronic "chorus" effect as well as electronic reverb and echo for a reverberant sound. To attain this prized sustain effect tube amplifiers such as Marshall are often utilized The desired effect, springs basically from where the tubes, when pushed to high volumes reach their peak and no farther which has an effect of attenuating the attack portions of the signal while presenting the trailing portions of the signal (which are normally progressively quieter) at the same volume as that peak output portions mimicking compressor/limiter electronic effects. Simultaneous to this, the distortion can actually distort itself in fidelity of its production adding a smooth "creamy" effect to distortion when as well the resolution of the usually gritty distortion sound is compromised and the note will almost return to its original configuration plus the desired "sloping" effects. Hence, the name of the band "Cream" that utilized these aspects extensively. These are aesthetically pleasing to many guitar players and sometimes violin and keyboard players as well. High volume is also used to induce audio feedback, which increases sustain dramatically. Sometimes, if done correctly by holding the guitar pickups at precise distances from the amplifier speakers such can present a steady, undecaying sound. Electronic special effects employing effects loops can artificially reproduce this as well. Other effects used to embellish lead guitar tone and pitch include the whammy bar which physically streches the strings, slides used extensively in country music and wah-wah and univibe effects.
  • Der Leadgitarrist oder Sologitarrist spielt in einer Band mit mehreren Gitarristen die (Lead)gitarre solistisch. Ist er hingegen der einzige Gitarrist der Musikgruppe, so spricht man von einem Gitarrensolisten. Die Bezeichnung Leadgitarrist ist vor allem in der Rockmusik und im Jazz verbreitet. Neben den eigentlichen Soli, die entweder improvisiert oder arrangiert sind, führt der Leadgitarrist gewöhnlich die Melodie, während der Rhythmusgitarrist die rhythmische Akkordbegleitung übernimmt. Das Instrument des Leadgitarristen ist meist eine E-Gitarre.
  • El terme guitarra solista ("Lead Guitar", en anglès), és l'equivalent en català a la "primera guitarra", dins d'una banda, ja sigui de rock o de qualsevol altre estil musical. La guitarra solista (a vegades anomenada guitarra líder) és la que executa els solos quan un tema ho requereix. De la mateixa manera, guitarra rítmica (Rhythm Guitar, en anglès) equival a la "segona guitarra". En l'actualitat, la distinció entre guitarra rítmica i guitarra solista ha perdut tota la seva importància, ja que en un grup hi ha més d'un guitarra, i és normal que es reparteixin entre ells la feina. En grups com The Rolling Stones no hi ha un guitarra solista sinó dos "guitarristes de riffs", que es reparteixen les intervencions segons el tema ho requereixi.
  • El término guitarra líder ("Lead Guitar", en inglés), es el equivalente en castellano a la "guitarra principal", dentro de una banda, ya sea de rock o cualquier otro estilo musical. La guitarra líder (a veces llamada guitarra solista) es la que ejecuta los solos cuando el tema lo requiere. Del mismo modo, guitarra rítmica (Rhythm Guitar, en inglés) equivale a la "segunda guitarra".
  • Soolokitaristi (engl. lead guitarist) on kappaleen melodisia osuuksia soittava kitaristi. Soolokitaristin vastuulle jäävät myös nimen mukaisesti kitarasoolot. Soolokitaristia säestää usein rytmikitara. Soolokitaristit kuuluvat monenlaisiin populaarimusiikin tyyleihin. Erityisesti bluesissa sekä joissakin rock- ja metallimusiikin tyylisuuntauksissa soolokitaristeilla on merkittävä rooli.
  • La guitare solo (le terme anglais lead guitar est plus explicite et plus précis) est un instrument fondamental au sein de la plupart des formations musicales des styles actuels. En général c'est elle qui porte la mélodie du morceau; elle permet aussi au guitariste de réaliser les solo qui sont de véritables signatures (mettant plutôt en avant sa maîtrise technique). L'invention de la guitare électrique lui a donné le rôle prépondérant qu'on lui connaît maintenant. On considère généralement que la Telecaster de Fender (1950), la Les Paul de Gibson (1952), puis la Stratocaster de Fender (1954) marquent la renaissance de l'instrument. Avec ces nouveaux instruments, la musique pop/rock instrumentale, dont la mélodie est entièrement jouée à la guitare, a explosé à la fin des années 50 (les Shadows N°1 dans le monde entier avec, entre autres, "Apache") et au début des années 60 (la "surf music" américaine de Dick Dale et des Ventures).
  • La chitarra solista è una comune chitarra utilizzata in alcuni gruppi in aggiunta della chitarra di accompagnamento. Ha la funzione di sostituire anziché accompagnare la voce per la durata di una strofa (assolo) e potendo andare oltre l'estensione vocale viene utilizzata per variarne e arricchirne la melodia. Il motivo per cui essa si aggiunge alla chitarra di accompagnamento è che se la chitarra d'accompagnamento dovesse interrompere un giro di accordi per iniziare un assolo, sarebbe difficile non notare un istante di stacco; tuttavia in alcuni gruppi con molta esperienza ciò non accade, ovvero il chitarrista di accompagnamento esegue anche assoli, lasciando il suo precedente incarico al basso e/o al pianoforte.
  • リードギター (Lead Guitar) とは、もっぱらリード（ソロ）を弾くギターパート、あるいは、その役割を指す。その演奏者自体を指す場合は、「リードギタリスト」という。
  • Gitara prowadząca lub gitara solowa (ang. lead guitar lub solo guitar) jest to rola gitary w zespołach muzycznych, najczęściej rockowych, która ma zapewnić utrzymanie melodii. Gra zwykle partie solowe, intro, riffy itp. ; gitara rytmiczna, basowa oraz perkusja tworzą tło dla gitary prowadzącej. Zobacz też: gitara elektryczna
  • Guitarra solo ou guitarra líder é o nome dado à guitarra líder e principal executada por um músico em uma banda, que costuma fazer a parte melódica da canção. Geralmente esta definição existe em contraponto a uma guitarra base; isto ocorre quando há mais de um guitarrista em uma mesma banda. Esta distinção é feita, mais comumente, em bandas de rock e metal, porém pode se aplicar à qualquer gênero musical que tenha guitarras.
  • Соло-гитара — гитара, роль которой в коллективе — создавать (играть) некие мелодические линии, подобно голосу. Соло-гитара используется в нескольких направлениях. Первое — обыгрывать основную мелодию, делая игру более мелодичной и красивой. Второе — играть основную мелодию для усиления жёсткости и экпрессивности исполнения (часто используется в метал-музыке). Третье — исполнять соло-партии, являющиеся логическим продолжением песни. Исполнятеся чаще всего после 2-го припева перед 3-им запевом (обычно такое соло наиболее продолжительное во всей композиции), иногда соло-партии заполняют промежутки между всеми куплетами, ставятся в начале, создавая определённое предрасположение к мелодии. Термин имеет значение лишь в ситуации, когда в коллективе присутствует более одной гитары, помимо бас-гитары.
  • Sologitarr kallas gitarr då det används för att spela melodi, instrumentala utfyllnader. I rock- och metalgrupper har sologitarristen ofta medhjälp av en andragitarrist som spelar kompgitarr. I vissa rock- och metalgrupper spelar de två ett så kallat gitarrtandem. På engelska heter det Lead Guitar.
