In music performances, rhythm guitar is a technique and role that performs a combination of two functions: to provide all or part of the rhythmic pulse in conjunction with other instruments from the rhythm section. Therefore, the basic technique of rhythm guitar is to hold down a series of chords with the fretting hand while strumming or fingerpicking rhythmically with the other hand. More developed rhythm techniques include arpeggios, riffs, chord solos, complex strums. In ensembles or bands playing within the acoustic, blues, rock or metal genres, a guitarist playing the rhythm part of a composition plays the role of supporting the melodic lines and improvised solos played on the lead instrument or instruments, be they strings, brass, keyboard or percussion instruments, or the human voice, in the sense of playing throughout the piece, whereas lead instruments and singers switch between carrying the main or countermelody and falling silent. In big band music, the guitarist is considered part of the rhythm section, alongside bass and drums.

In some musical situations, such as a solo singer-guitarist, the guitar accompaniment provides all the rhythmic drive. Rhythm guitar can supply all of the harmonic input to a singer-guitarist or small band, but in ensembles that have other harmony instruments or vocal harmonists, its harmonic input will be less important. In the most commercially available and consumed genres, electric guitars tend to dominate their acoustic cousins in both the recording studio and live venues; however the acoustic guitar remains a popular choice in country and bluegrass music, exclusively in folk music. Most rhythms in rock and blues are based on 4/4 time with a backbeat. A backbeat is a syncopated accentuation on the "off" beat. In a simple 4/4 rhythm these are beats 2 and 4. Emphasized back beat, a feature of some African styles, defined rhythm and blues recordings in the late 1940s and so became one of the defining characteristics of rock and roll and much of contemporary popular music. While rhythm guitarists may in some cases perform a part composed by an arranger or by the composer of a song, like the other members of the rhythm section, are expected to be able to improvise or prepare their own part to fit a given song.

This requires rhythm guitarists to have a good knowledge of how to use chord voicings and fills that suit the style of a given song. Harmonically, in rock music, the most common way to construct chord progressions is to play major and minor "triads", each comprising a root and fifth note of a given scale. An example of a major triad is C major, which contains the notes C, E and G. An example of a minor triad is the A minor chord, which includes the notes A, C and E. Interspersed are some four-note chords, which include the root and fifth, as well as a sixth, seventh or ninth note of the scale; the most common chord with four different notes is the dominant seventh chord, which include a root, a major third above the root, a perfect fifth above the root and a flattened seventh. In the key of C major, the dominant seventh chord is a G7, which consists of the notes G, B, D and F. Three-chord progressions are common in earlier pop and rock, using various combinations of the I, IV and V chords, with the twelve-bar blues common.

A four chord progression popular in the 1950s is I-vi-ii-V, which in the key of C major is the chords C major, a minor, d minor and G7. Minor and modal chord progressions such as I-bVII-bVI feature in popular music. In heavy metal music, rhythm guitarists play power chords, which feature a root note and a fifth above, or with an octave doubling the root. There is no third of the chord. Power chords are played with distortion. One departure from the basic strummed chord technique is to play arpeggios, i.e. to play individual notes in a chord separately. If this is done enough, listeners will still hear the sequence as harmony rather than melody. Arpeggiation is used in folk and heavy metal, sometimes in imitation of older banjo technique, it is prominent in 1960s pop, such as The Animals' "House of the Rising Sun", jangle pop from the 1980s onwards. Rhythm guitarists who use arpeggio favor semi-acoustic guitars and twelve string guitars to get bright, undistorted "jangly" sound; the Soukous band TPOK Jazz additionally featured the unique role of mi-solo, playing arpeggio patterns and filling a role "between" the lead and rhythm guitars.

In some cases, the chord progression is implied with a simplified sequence of two or three notes, sometimes called a "riff". That sequence is repeated throughout the composition. In heavy metal music, this is expanded to more complex sequences comprising a combination of chords, single notes and palm muting; the rhythm guitar part in compositions performed by more technically oriented bands include riffs employing complex lead guitar techniques. In some genres metal, the audio signal from the rhythm guitar's output is subsequently distorted by overdriving the guitar's amplifier to create a thicker, "crunchier" sound for the palm-muted rhythms. In bands with two or more guitarists, the guitarists may exchange or duplicate roles for various songs or several sections within a song. In those with a single guitarist, the guitarist

The Place Castellane is a historic square in the 6th arrondissement of Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, France. It was built in 1774; the square was named for Henri-César de Castellane-Majastre, an aristocrat who donated the land for its construction in 1774. A fountain with an obelisk used as a lavoir was built in the middle of the square in 1798. In 1911, the obelisk was relocated to Mazargues. Meanwhile, Jules Cantini donated a new fountain, designed by sculptor André-Joseph Allar; the fountain, completed in 1913, represents three Provençal rivers: the Durance, the Gardon, the Rhône. The square, with the original obelisk, is mentioned by Joseph Conrad in his 1919 novel entitled The Arrow of Gold
