Don't forget that you have a right hand too which contributes greatly to the mix of sound. And it it important to note that to be a really good rhythm player you have to know what to accent, what to mute and when. One's palette of sounds is only limited by one's skill and fluidity. Of course we all like even breaks from chords, probably often. But the indicator of one's skill is to be able to make the changes without sounding like there are huge breaks. When phrasing any type of music often the key is to keep the forward motion of the feel, keeping the sound into or even over bar lines. Even though we're talking basic guitar technique here, it is important for newer players to establish the best habits which ultimately contribute to maximum musicality.
