A rhythm section is a collection of musicians who make up a section of instruments (generally within a modern small musical ensemble, such as a jazz band) which provides the accompaniment section of the music, giving the music its rhythmic texture and pulse, also serving as a rhythmic reference for the rest of the band. A rhythm section can be found in many other types of modern musical ensembles besides jazz, such as country, blues, and rock. In modern rock music, a rhythm guitarist is a guitarist who specializes in playing rhythmic and chordal (as opposed to melodic and leading) sections, sometimes consisting simply of repeated quaver (eighth-note) power chords, though not necessarily limited to such. In many forms of music, a high quality rhythm section can potentially add much to the quality of the finished product.
