Nile Rodgers rarely plays conventional solos: his art is the 'chucking' rhythm guitar that became the heartbeat of disco and dance-pop. His choppy, harmonically rich Stratocaster parts with Chic and for Bowie, Madonna and Daft Punk are among the most imitated and sampled guitar lines in popular music.
