When working with my students on the subject of blues I am constantly stressing the importance of getting to grips with good blues riffs simply because of their importance in building the necessary technique needed to play classic rock riffs. We all know the influence that the blues has had on the music that followed it but for the guitar it has a very special degree of importance because of the guitar riffs that have made the songs what they are. Some songs that have had a clear blues influence when being written have become so familiar as rock songs that it may be easy to overlook their roots as blues guitar riffs.<br /><br />The 1960s was an inspirational time was music and the blues played a significant part in shaping much of the music that was written at the time. The Rolling Stones were great advocates of the blues particularly in the sixties but what about the guitar riff in (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction? It's known more as a rock song but you can't help thinking Keith Richards was messing around with a blues riff when he came up with it. The infamous intro and verse riff from Hendrix's Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) is another great example of how some blues guitar playing produced a captivating and, arguably his best, rock guitar riff.<br /><br />The music of Cream provides us with some real obvious blues riffs which are now safely tucked in the rock category. One of the most famous being Crossroads which was of course a blues cover but arranged and recorded in much more contemporary (for the time) rock rhythm than the Robert Johnson version - and with that unforgettable riff of course. Sunshine of Your Love is another classic with a very catchy riff that is based around the notes of the very telling blues scale.<br /><br />During the more definitive classic rock period Led Zeppelin made no bones of their blues influence and used a similar idea of using the blues scale as a basis for a rock riff with Heartbreaker. Bring It On Home has a very strong blues intro before it launches into that huge rock riff based around the very bluesy open E minor pentatonic scale with an added major 3rd. Listen to Rock n Roll and you will again hear a familiar blues riff that has been rocked up.<br /><br />In more recent times ZZ Top are well known as a rock trio but their blues influence is obvious. Take La Grange or Tush, for example, for some real blues rock guitar riffing. The idea of taking the blues to shape a guitar riff has carried way past the seventies and eighties, however. How about Lenny Kravitz's Are You Gonna Go My Way from 1993? The whole song centres around a blues guitar riff that almost sounds like it's a lead lick but instead helps to create a really classic rock song.<br /><br />The list could go on of course as there is so much blues influenced music out there and as far as blues guitar riffs go there's no denying their contribution to some great classic rock despite their not necessarily sounding like a blues riff any more.<br /><br />So if you are guitar student you'd do well to learn up your on your blues guitar riffs even if you have no intention of pursuing the blues as a player. When you are trying to figure out that classic rock riff, or even think of one of your own, you'll already have a good idea of where its coming from - or indeed where it's going to.</div>

Founding members Mick Jones and Lou Gramm, along with a group of equally important and talented musicians, have recorded numerous albums. They have sold in excess of over 38 million albums in the U.S. alone. The band has had many chart topping hits from each of their albums. This helped them get exposure without the aid of music videos. It wasn't until many years later that the classic rock band, Foreigner followed the music video trend which helped secure the future and helped the band to stay on top with continued success.<br /><br />Foreigner has a massive fan base throughout the world, mostly because of the different origins of the band members. My trivia question to you is: How did Foreigner come up with the name for the band? I will give you the answer after I name my choices of the 5 best Foreigner songs.<br /><br />Cold As Ice is one of the first songs to come from their début album. With its infectious keyboard opening and perfectly produced harmonies, this song was originally a B-side that ended up reaching number 6 on the billboard 100.<br /><br />Hot Blooded comes from Foreigner's sophomore release and immediately was released as a single that reached number 3 on the charts. Parts of this song have been sampled by other artists, showing the impact of their style and songwriting creativity.<br /><br />I Want To Know What Love Is was not their first or their last power ballad, though it was certainly one of the bands best. Lou Gramm's vocals reached an all time high on this number 1 chart topping hit. It remained number 1 on both the U.S. and U.K. charts for quite some time, making this song their most popular and biggest hit to date.<br /><br />Juke Box Hero was written by the band as looking through the eyes of a fan. This harder rocking Foreigner song has some of their finest guitar riffs and backing vocals. Known highly for their vocal abilities, this song raises those talents to an all time high.<br /><br />Urgent was immediately released as a single off the band's 1981 album. This song was one of their first to feature the synthesizer and saxophone as some of the main focal points to the song. With the help of Motown legend, Junior Walker, this top FM radio hit was a great success and it brought in a whole new fan base.<br /><br />Gone are the days of Lou Gramm and his widely recognized vocals. With founding member Mick Jones and a new group of very talented and highly experienced musicians, Foreigner continues to tour although on a much smaller scale than in their glory days. The band never achieved the greatness it once had and may never again.<br /><br />Now for the answer to my trivia question.Classic rock band, Foreigner came up with the name for their band from the collective group of musicians from different countries that formed the band. No matter which country they played in, they would always be considered Foreigners.<br /><br />To see more reviews on Classic Rock bands, please visit my website http://www.classichardrockreviews.com<br />Test your trivia knowledge or test mine by visiting my website http://www.classichardrocktrivia.com<br />Keep Rockin,<br />Teri L.

It's sort of frightening to consider that even Nirvana is considered classic rock now. A band with songs on the cutting edge of a new music movement in the early 90s is now relegated to history. Normally we would consider bands like Def Leppard, Deep Purple or Led Zeppelin in this category. But, on second look this isn't necessarily a band thing. Moving from grunge rock pioneers to classic rock icons isn't a sign of a band losing its place in history, but rather cementing it (and finding whole new audiences via FM radio and satellite airplay).<br /><br />So what makes classic rock 'classic' anyway? Is it a specific time-frame, fashion or the dated sound of over-dampened drums? There's actually no concrete answer, except to say that there are bands from that period who had some popularity, who we rarely hear in heavy rotation all these many years later.<br /><br />In the end certain acts and songs stand the test of time because of great songwriting and performance. Again, that's pretty subjective, but when you have dissimilar bands like The Police being spun on the same radio station as Def Leppard or The Fixx, an obvious question arises: What do all these bands have in common?<br /><br />A band like The Police had great melodies, impeccable vocals and world-class instrumental performances that all led to one thing: a great song. Similarly, a band like Def Leppard had killer guitar riff performances, high-octane vocals and unbeatable melodies and harmonies which led to one thing: a great song.<br /><br />Certainly there are some songs that come across classic rock radio which are a bit dubious in terms of song quality. But, on the whole, the bands you hear in heavy-rotation have connected with an audience across time, not because of a great guitar solo or cool fashion or style... but because they wrote or performed a song that resonated across time. This is why Nirvana is now considered classic rock. They created rock music that continues to resonate with audiences all these many years later. And while certain sounds may feel dated or you may roll your eyes at hearing the same 'hit' for the thousandth time, the bottom line is that an act created a memorable recorded performance of rock music at one time that continues to move a segment of society on some level years later. And that is what makes classic rock classic.<br /><br />If you dig Def Leppard, The Police and the best of classic rock, check out Pickett's free music at: http://www.m-overdrive.com/pickett.</div>

Along with Pop, R&B, and Punk Rock, there's one music genre that often flies under the popular music radar, this is called Celtic Rock. The initiative to make the Celtic Rock genre came from the minds of Celtic artists and singers who were successful in bringing out the mixing of Celtic music and rock songs that we hear these days. The success achieved by Celtic musicians is largely due to the immense success of Celtic Rock as a genre. The recognition of this genre may have been caused largely by the rock elements found in this music, as Rock music has a habit of being ear-catching and memorable to most people's ear.¨<br /><br />The Celtic Rock genre is hard to identify due to its distinctive nature, so here's a good example that might sound familiar. There was a scene in the film "Titanic" where passengers in the third class or "steerage" section were gladly dancing to a bit of music with Leonardo DiCaprio leading them and when Kate Winslet saw this happening, she immediately joined the gathering, getting down on the dance floor and jigging along with the intensely infections beat. The background music played throughout the dance was in fact produced by an Irish band named Gaelic Storm, noted in Celtic music circles for creating influential Celtic Rock throughout their career.<br /><br />So, exactly how does this blend of Celtic and Rock music go together so successfully? There can be three ways that you can create a successful fusion: one, by using rock music instruments in playing conventional Celtic music; two, performing rock music with the use of Celtic instruments, for example bagpipe, fiddle, Uilleann pipes, and harp; and three, integrating Celtic lyrics or rhythms into an already established and popular piece of rock music. Many royalty free music producers use the third kind as it has an infectious rhythm which works great in a marketing exercise, for example on TV advertisements.<br /><br />Celtic rock derived out of the 'electric folk' music scene in the beginning of the seventies. A Scottish singer known as Donovan produced an album known as "Open Road" where he titled one of his musical compositions as "Celtic Rock", and this was the first ever recorded use of this term that became popular throughout the years.<br /><br />The evolution of Celtic Rock then has become evident with numerous songs being created by Celtic bands and musicians, particularly in the Celtic areas of Brittany, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Celtic rock is not limited to Celtic regions, since there are also countries with large Irish and Scottish roots which are partial to this sort of music, and which often forms the cohesive elements in the pub culture of such places. To be able to pay tribute to their roots, artists usually produce Celtic Rock through playing popular rock and punk music with elements of Celtic songs in it.<br /><br />When used in production music ventures such as Royalty-Free music libraries, the success noted is very high, hence why many large companies and particularly breweries such as Guinness or Caffrey's use this type of music to set the scene in their TV advertising.<br /><br />Many fusion or co-operative music genres have appeared in the music industry in the past 20-30 years, but some of them were short-lived unlike Celtic Rock which continued to be well-known and influential, supplying the fuel for local groups to make it big on a worldwide scale. The best such name is perhaps U2, who shifted to a more mainstream genre, but not without the initial recognition made available from the music of Irish Rock.<br /><br />There are actually musical sub-genres that are created thanks to this fusion of Celtic Rock. With Ireland giving birth to several punk bands in the 1970's, the Pogues created Celtic Punk, by blending elements of Celtic Rock, but presented punk-style. Likewise, many metal bands of later years utilized classic Celtic music in their metal, making Celtic Metal music and proving that the fusion of different musical entities is likely to continue well into the future, and that can only be a good thing.<br /><br />PrimaryElements is a Royalty Free Music library with a strong leaning towards Celtic music, and other niche music from minority cultures around the world.

In around 1970 Alan Stivell's Breton folk rock had arrived in France along with French punk rock which came from various bands Metal Urbain and Stinky Toys. Along with this progressive rock bands some of which included Shylock, Magma, Pulsar, Ange and so on were also present. But this course of French rock music went through an alteration in the 1980's. the political culture changed along with the change as well as the boom of the youth culture. Although there were various bands which were present at that time certain ones like Telephone, Noir Desir and Phoenix had taken the music to a completely different level.<br />
<br />
In 1976 a band called Telephone was formed by Jean Louis Aubert, Corine Marienneau, Richard Kolinka and Louis Bertignac. In 1977 they released their very first self titled album and at the end of the decade they found themselves as one of the biggest French rock bands which were around. they spent their free time opening up shows for Rolling Stones, Quebec and the band managed to stay in the spotlight for quite sometime before they broke up in 1986.<br />
<br />
Just as Aerosmith has been called the greatest rock band in America, Telephone was the greatest rock band which was present in France. When you take a quick look at the band you will think that they are trying to copy a sort of British rock meets American rock type of music. But then this band hasn't really become one of the most successful bands just for nothing. Aubert is a completely gifted songwriter and his lyrics consist of metaphors as well as images and puns. Plus his voice is also very characteristic which gives the entire band their identity.<br />
<br />
Another brilliant French rock band was Noir Desir which came from Bordeauz. This band was extremely active during the time of the 1980's, 1990's and also the very early 2000's. this band has managed two albums which went double platinum and also three which were certified as gold. This band consisting of Bertrand Cantat, Jean Paul Roy, Denis Barthe and Serge Teyssot Gay disbanded in 2010. This band was a complete committed as well as indie rock band, the band itself was surprised at the success which they had attained in the mainstream. But despite all of the massive sell outs their music was always committed, abrasive and in a way experimental.<br />
<br />
One of the top alternative rock bands in French rock music was Phoenix. This band is actually a Grammy award winning band. This Versailles band which was founded by Deck d'Arcy, Thomas Mars, Laurent Brancowitz and Christian Mazzalai was formed in 1999. They released their two singles, "If I ever feel better" and "too young" from the album Untitled in 2000. "Too young" was actually the soundtrack for the award winning movie "Lost in Translation". Their latest album was released in 2009 which was titled "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix".</div>olgahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02154942985545399957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3848916730003524075.post-89661700411028962792012-03-10T18:34:00.001-08:002012-03-10T18:34:17.983-08:00Rock Music Fiction<div style="text-align: justify;">Looking for something different to read? Tired of the same old chick-lit, thrillers, romances, and teen vampire books? If you're like most people you listen to rock music-on the radio, on CDs, and at concerts. Believe it or not, there is a growing genre of fiction devoted to rock music and rock musicians.<br />
<br />
They aren't all just about sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll (although a generous sprinkling of these ingredients doesn't hurt!). Many rock music novels strive to capture something about the creative process, the everyday life of a musician, or the impact that rock music has on listeners. Here are a few choice examples of works of fiction that are based in the punk, pop, heavy metal, or rock genre.<br />
<br />
The Best in Rock Fiction (June Sawyers and Anthony DeCurtis, editors. Hal Leonard, 2004). This engrossing collection features short stories including T. C. Boyle's "All Shook Up" and Tom Piazza's "Burn Me Up," plus more than a dozen excerpts from published novels. Authors include Nick Hornby, William Gibson, Sherman Alexie (with an excerpt from Reservation Blues), Don DeLillo, Madison Smartt Bell, Jeffrey Eugenides, Rick Moody, and Scott Spencer. In "Ground Beneath Her Feet," Salman Rushdie explores the Orpheus and Eurydice myth in a rock 'n roll context.<br />
<br />
Carved in Rock: Short Stories by Musicians (Greg Kihn, editor. Thunder's Mouth Press, 2003). A collection of short stories written by some of the biggest names in rock including Joan Jett, Kinky Freidman, Jim Carroll, Richard Hell, Ray Davies, Graham Parker, Eric Burden, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, Exene Cervenka, and Wayne Kramer. Given the success that many of these legends have as songwriters, it's no surprise that these engaging and varied tales open new doors of literary experience.<br />
<br />
Pistonhead (Thomas A. Hauck. Something.hot Communications, 2009). My own entry into the rock fiction arena. Pistonhead reveals the daily life of Charlie Sinclair, a struggling Boston musician who works in a factory by day and plays guitar for his band Pistonhead at night. He's stressed-out, confused, oversexed, underfed, has an apartment full of mice, and can't get rid of his overbearing ex-girlfriend who tries to make booty calls. When his life can't get much more depressing, he faces a personal crisis and it looks like his dreams of a career in music are over. They aren't--he just has to change his idea of success.<br />
<br />
High Fidelity (Nick Hornby. Riverhead, 1995). Although the protagonist is the owner of a record store (remember record stores?), this classic novel is the most successful of the rock music genre. We meet Rob Fleming, owner of a vintage record store in London, whose girlfriend, Laura, leaves him for another man. Rob realizes that he lives not for sexual conquest but for the monogamy that he, until now, dismissed as hopelessly square. The 2000 movie version starred John Cusack and Danish actress Iben Hjejle, and was nominated for a Golden Globe.<br />
<br />
Noise: Fiction Inspired by Sonic Youth (Peter Wild, editor. Harper Perennial, 2009). A collection of stories inspired, as the title says, by the music of punk rock legends Sonic Youth. The all-star contributors include Hiag Akmakjian, Christopher Coake, Katherine Dunn, Mary Gaitskill, Rebecca Godfrey, Laird Hunt, Shelley Jackson, J. Robert Lennon, Samuel Ligon, Emily Maguire, Tom McCarthy, Scott Mebus, Eileen Myles, Catherine O'Flynn, Emily Carter Roiphe, Kevin Sampsell, Steven Sherrill, Matt Thorne, Rachel Trezise, Jess Walter, and Peter Wild.<br />

Characteristics:<br />
<br />
One of the main traits of the rock music is the eternal sound of guitar which may or may not be electric in nature. Apart from guitar, this form of music also has two more elements to it namely the percussion and electric bass guitar. Normally, the rock band consists of 2 to 5 members that include the main vocalist, lead guitarist, guitarist to play the rhythm, the bass guitarist, the drummer and sometimes another person to play any other instrument. The lyrics of the rock form of music deal with varied issues unlike the Blues music which revolves around melancholy and sadness. In fact, it is difficult to define rock music as it has a tendency to absorb a lot from the other form of music and hence does not have a rigid definition to it.<br />
<br />
Social effects of this revolution:<br />
<br />
Rock music has been associated with rebellion and a desire to break free form of the prevalent customs and norms of the society. This rebellion is not only against the social scene but also the ongoing political scenario during those. Perhaps this was the reason why the rock scene was perceived as a medium to divert youth and encourage non cooperation and disobedience of the prevalent societal norms. This form of music is also associated with the rising awareness of gender bias prompting equality. This was a major source of ideas especially for the world of fashion and cinema where one could clearly see the outright influence of the rock revolution.<br />
<br />
Rock culture in the new millennium:<br />
<br />
Coming to the new millennium, it is a term that encompasses a lot more than the traditional form of this type of music. In fact, it is used for all genres of music which are even remotely influenced by the rock movement. Popular additions are as follows:<br />
<br />
>> Contemporary heavy metal, metal core and retro metal<br />
<br />
>> Garage rock/post-punk revival<br />
<br />
>> Digital electronic rock<br />
<br />
The world famous contributors to this culture are Elvis Presley, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix to name a few. Beatles, Eagles, Rolling stones and the Beach boys are the bands that stormed music scenario and were almost a cult movement during their hay days. Even today, very few rock bands or solo artists can claim even half the popularity that those group or solo performers had.<br />

This music uses keyboard instruments like piano, synthesisers, organ, etc. There is a band of musicians who focus only on rock music and they are called rock band. Rock music is becoming increasingly popular throughout the world. Hard rock is specially liked by the western youth.<br />
<br />
Today, people are crazy about music. They want to listen their favourite music whenever they have leisure time. Music is created to give you pleasure.

All these type of music are enjoyable to hear. The songs take you through different emotions. Rock music is loud and fast than anything you've heard before.<br />
<br />
In 1960, British and American rock bands became popular. Bands like Alice Cooper, Judas Priest, Queen, Black Sabbath, etc. are some of the famous bands. In 1980,the genre that was quite popular was glam metal. The various artists like Twisted Sister, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, Queen, Kiss, Sweet and the New York Dolls were the artists of 1980's.<br />
<br />
This type of music became popular in the 1950s in America and Europe.

The music has a heavy focus on guitar, drums and powerful vocals. The most popular artist of rock music in the early days was Elvis Presley. His dance and powerful music can surprise anyone.

Then, people could view their favourite bands on the television. Many people criticised about this type of music as they did not like the loud and fast lyrics.<br />
<br />
Rock music began with jazz music, blues tunes, etc. It also featured electrically amplified guitars, drummers and harmonicas. By the mid-1950, performers like Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Joe Turner became famous with the white audiences. Radio disc jockeys named this music rock 'n roll.<br />

Lastly, there is a song that most college students can appreciate. "Raise a Glass", an old Irish folk song has people singing along in the background. The album is a mixture of a broad variety of the music in the history of rock. This rock album is definitely worth listening and deserves a space on your iPod.<br />

Having said that, rock music is not a style that appeals to everyone. It can be a bit hard and loud for those who prefer their music light and airy. The lyrics can also be on the dark side and depending on the genre, a little depressing. Those who love rock have their particular genres and tend not to stray too much. Those who love soft rock for instance, won't spend much time or money on the punk rock or metal scene. Likewise, metalheads wouldn't be caught dead cruising the pop rock aisle. Alternative rock is a genre that encompasses many others, some of which are included below.<br />
<br />
Punk rock is one of those fiercely anti-establishment music genres that your parents hate. It developed between 1974 and 1977, mainly in the US, UK and Australia. Punk rock moved away from mainstream 70s rock by stripping down the instrumentation, playing faster and harder and writing more political or nihilistic lyrics. Writing also confronts sex and relationships in a manner that was scandalous at the time for its anti-sentimentality. It struck a chord with rebellious youths of the time who adopted a particular style of dress and developed their anti-authoritarian philosophies. It was a scornful answer to the political idealism of the time and strongly rejected the flower-power hippie movement. Punk resulted in a total cultural revolution, which gradually led to the development of the alternative rock movement.<br />
<br />
Alternative rock serves as an umbrella term for all underground music that has come about since the mid 80s. Its characterised by its rejection of mainstream culture and materialism. Those who feel cast aside by society or who feel like they don't fit in anywhere else often embrace it. It has no set musical style and ranges from grunge to gothic rock. Lyrics are often concerned with social issues like drug use and depression.<br />
<br />
Pop punk combines punk rock and pop music and is thus known as a fusion genre. Pop influenced punk has been around since the 70s. It has a faster rhythm than hardcore punk, from which it mainly originated. Their approach is more positive and sarcastic than other punk genres and this is their distinguishing characteristic. Their brattiness also provided many punk fans with relief from the moodiness and nihilistic lyrics of the grunge and hardcore punk bands.<br />
<br />
Heavy metal, or simply metal developed in the 60s and early 70s. Vocals vary widely from a multi-octave theatrical approach (Bruce Dickenson from Iron Maiden), to a gruff style (James Hetfield of Metallica), to screaming and growling and a phlegm-clogged, possessed style. Lyrics most commonly revolve around sex, violence, death and the occult. They also feature fantasy inspired themes.<br />
<br />
Thrash metal emerged in the early 80s, with a sound that was faster and more aggressive than traditional metal bands. Lyrics dealt with social or political issues or were nihilistic in content.<br />
<br />
Death metal came about as thrash evolved into more extreme genres. It is characterised by lyrics that emphasise blasphemy, aggression, violence and Satanism. Vocals tend to include guttural "death grunts", high-pitched screaming and various other hardcore techniques.<br />
<br />
Emo is a sub-genre of hardcore punk. It began in the mid 90s and was used to refer to the indie scene. These days the term has expanded to include such a wide variety of bands that very few of them have anything in common. This expansion makes the term very difficult to qualify. It has become so broad, in fact, that many bands and fans of the bands have rejected the "emo" label as it does nothing to distinguish them from hundred of others. It merely lumps them into a single category because they may dress in a similar fashion to other bands, or some of their songs may be popular within the "emo" scene. However, those who identify strongly with the "emo" scene and label are severely offended when the term is applied loosely to so many bands that don't fit the profile. Guy Picciotto of Fugazi and Rites of Spring was once asked how he felt about playing an instrumental role in creating the emo genre. This was his reply, " I don't recognise that attribution. I've never recognised "emo" as a genre of music. I always thought it was the most retarded term ever. ... every band that gets labelled with that term hates it. They feel scandalised by it. But honestly, I just thought that all the bands I played in were punk rock bands. ..."<br />
<br />
Some other famous rock stars have their say.<br />
<br />
"We weren't too ambitious when we started out. We just wanted to be the biggest thing that ever walked the planet." -- Steven Tyler<br />
<br />
"... I don't want you to play me a riff that's going to impress Joe Satriani; give me a riff that makes a kid want to go out and buy a guitar and learn to play- ..." Ozzy Osbourne<br />
<br />
"We never thought of ourselves as a 'heavy metal band' we've always regarded ourselves as a rock band. The big difference we've always thought we had a lot more feel for rock, we always went out for songs, not riffs or heavy, heavy sounds. But every now and again it does come on like a sledge hammer." -- Angus Young, guitarist with AC/DC<br />
<br />
"Whenever society gets too stifling and the rules get too complex, there's some sort of musical explosion" - Slash/Guns 'n Roses<br />

Electric guitars are considered a very passive instrument. Main reason behind it is that they do not need any direct power supply. Very few of them are powered by an onboard battery. Actually it's the vibration of strings which produces signal in coil. A guitar amplifier is basically called a combination amplifier, which consists of a speakers and amplifiers. Its cabinet consists of processors, knobs, dial, buttons, which control the volume set.<br />
<br />
In case of the guitar player, an amplifier helps to play one role it only makes the guitar louder. It equalizes the signal and removes distortion or any other effects. The essential task of the guitar amplifier is to produce boosted sound volume with clarity. The increased amplitude of output wave leads to the proper functioning of guitar.<br />
<br />
Everyone is fully aware of what the amplifiers do; it takes the guitar's signal and makes it audible by boosting it to such amplitude which is enough to drive a speaker. There is some difference between amplifiers of electric guitar and that of stereo systems. The amplifier used in stereos, reproduce and amplify sound with minor distortion. Whereas with electric guitar amp, musicians need both distortion and also clean sound. What distortion means, it is produced whenever the signal is too powerful for that circuitry of amplifier. It is always there with the sound signal and electric guitars have the option to control this distortion. The various types of guitar amplifiers available in the market are electric guitars, acoustic guitars bass guitars and many others.<br />
<br />
If the sound that comes out of the amp and speaker is loud enough, it will automatically cause guitar's strings to vibrate. It depends on whether the signal fed to the input of the guitar amp works or not otherwise the signal might be fed to the preamplifiers whose output is fed to the guitar amp. With the recent advancements in the technology adopted by musicians, the electric guitar still has a prominent place. It helps to inspire entirely new type of music. Since its invention in 20th century, electric guitar is considered the most prominent instrument in rock music. Rock band is really incomplete without it.<br />
<br />
All the above information is just a brief introduction about guitar amplifiers, there is lot much to know about it in-depth.<br />

Its root was derived from rhythm and blues, country music from the 40s and 50s as well as the other various influences. Furthermore, It also took a variety of other musical styles, including folk music (folk music), jazz and classic music.<br />
<br />
The distinctive sound of this music often revolved around the electric guitar or acoustic guitar, and the use of a very subtle back beat in the rhythm section on electric bass guitar and drums, and keyboards like organ, piano or synthesizers since the 70s. Besides the guitar or keyboard, saxophone and blues-style harmonica were sometimes used as a solo instrument. In its pure form, the rock music had three chords, a consistent and striking back-beat, and attractive melody.<br />
<br />
In the late 60s and early 70s, it evolved into several types. Rock music that mixed with the folk music (local music in the U.S.) became folk rock, the music that mixed with blues became blues-rock and the one that mixed with jazz became a jazz-rock fusion.<br />
<br />
In the 70s, rock combined the influence of soul, funk, and Latin music. Also in 70s, rock evolved into various sub-genres (sub-categories), such as soft rock, glam rock, heavy metal, hard rock, progressive rock, and punk rock. The sub-categories of rock that were popular in the 80s were the New Wave, a hardcore punk, and alternative rock. In the 90s, there was grunge, Britpop, indie rock and nu metal.<br />
<br />
A group of musicians who specialize in playing this music is called rock band or rock group. Many rock groups consist of guitar player, lead singer, bass guitar player, and drummer. In this case, they form a quartet.<br />
<br />
Some rock groups take one or two positions above or use the main singer as a music player in addition to singing. In this case, they form a duo or trio. Another group has additional musicians like two rhythm guitars or a keyboardist. Somewhat less frequently, the rock group uses stringed musical instruments such as violin, cello or blower, such as saxophones, trumpet or trombones.<br />

The fact is that you need talent and skills to compose a good rock music tune. This is because the lines of the song should rhyme and also the story being told should flow in particular way that your audience can understand.<br />
<br />
Rock songs should have great correlation between the melody lines and lyrics. This is the reason why you need rock music songwriters; the writing process can really be time consuming and may still not give you expected results. A lot of rock musicians are very much aware of the challenges and processes that songwriters go through to deliver a great song. Using the services of these songwriters can save you a lot of time so you can focus more on recording sessions.<br />
<br />
Bringing on excellent rock music songwriters saves you from trial and error kind of thing or guesswork. This will even allow you to concentrate on how to sing along with the beat and never worry about some of the challenges of songwriting like making your lyric sound great and etc. Many rock musicians made hit songs from other people's lyrics.<br />
<br />
They focus on their voice and beat because they are not skilled for writing something that will catch their audience's attention. Being able to write good music is difficult than most people think it is. Beats and music lyrics must be arranged in sequences of lines/bars that match the music flow. This ability takes the talent of rock music songwriters as it is not easily learned.<br />
<br />
Rock music songwriters can lead you through the entire songwriting process or scribble the whole piece for you. You'd have to sign a contract so that both you and the songwriter you've hired could protect each others' legalities. The process though is really simple and you'd realize in no time that you have a hit track in your hands to touch your world.<br />

How about some rock tracks from Metallica? Or something more new-age like Bon Jovi? You must be spinning with truckloads of ideas on the kinds of rock tracks that you plan to use. But hold your horses. Are you supposed to use these tracks? It might be tempting to use these tracks as music backgrounds for your websites, but of course you will have to watch your back for the Police who might be after you for using copyrighted tracks!<br />
<br />
If you already have thoughts about using Sweet Child O' Mine, then I suggest you give it a second thought. It can be pretty tempting to use these classical rock music tracks for websites but doing so will not do you any good. Don't tell me that I didn't warn you.<br />
<br />
Illegal downloading is a fad, and everyone is doing it. It is evident from the increase in the number of P2P (peer-to-peer) network websites and not to mention download softwares like Kazaa, Napster and Limewire are everyone's first download choice when they get a new computer.<br />
<br />
So, while your fingers may be itching to include that popular track into your client's website, think again of the dangerous consequences that you might face upon doing so. If you are really looking for a good rock track for use as background music, how about trying royalty free music? Are you new to this? Well, basically royalty free music are tracks that are not held by any copyright laws. This would mean that as the downloader, you are able to do whatever you wish to the royalty free music that you have downloaded.<br />
<br />
You can loop it, edit it, cut it short or do what ever you wish to it and no one is going to hunt you down. You CAN use copyrighted rock songs like the ones from Linkin Park, but then you will have to purchase a license and that will definitely cost you a bomb.<br />
<br />
These royalty free rock tracks are freely available off the Net. They come in all forms and varieties. .wav files or .mp3 files, if you want it, you got it. All you need to do is to make a clever little search and keep a look out for those tracks that might sound similar to the rock songs that you have been aiming for.<br />
<br />
Do not get so paranoid or too worried if these rock tracks sound cheap and "fake". You will be surprised to know that some of these tracks are actually composed by well-known music composers and directors. For a cheaper and reasonable price, you can own your very own rock music tracks.<br />
<br />
There are a thousand and one things that you can do with these rock tracks. If you are feeling the creative juices oozing out of you, then maybe you can take this opportunity to try and make the best out of these rock tracks by remixing them around with 2 or more tracks and amaze yourself with the end product. Who knows it might sound twice as good as Green Day's Boulevard Of Broken Dreams The Remix.<br />
<br />
Using rock music tracks as website backgrounds is an interesting way to attract your visitors to your site. So, hit a nice rock track and dazzle your visitors today.<br />

When I saw this book with an Elvis-like drawing on its cover, I had to pick it up, because it reminded me of the times when most of us in my generation were, musically speaking, in love with Elvis and his successors.<br />
<br />
The type of music called rock music sprung up from peacetime America but was adopted by the youth through the entire world. Although it started as an act of a rebellion, rock music became the governing music form for the next few decades, eventually turning into a customary music genre and leaving its throne of rebellion to other types of music. Rock music involves a vocal melody accompanied by musical instruments such as guitars, drums, and keyboard instruments.<br />
<br />
When rhythm and blues met country music, rock music was born. The book, "The History of Rock Music," gives this type of historical information alongside with the biographies of and information about famous rock stars who determined and shaped the course of rock music from early on. In addition to the musicians, Dick Clark with his television show "American Bandstand" promoted the rock music and coerced its respectability by the general population.<br />
<br />
Among the earlier artists mentioned are Little Richard, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Woodie Guthrie, and Bob Dylan, and from the sixties on come the Beatles, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Motown, Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead, The Beach Boys, The Doors, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix. Later, when hard rock surfaced, its representatives became Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, and Black Sabbath. From seventies on, singer-songwriters came into the music scene like Jackson Browne, James Taylor, and Joni Mitchell.<br />
<br />
The book not only gives information about music groups and presents several features from actual history, but it also provides details on the instruments and the evolution of rock music trends to the end of the nineties, from before Elvis's time to Curt Cobain's grunge.<br />
<br />
"The History of Rock Music" is a volume from the Masters of Music Series, in hardcover and 64 pages, with ISBN-10: 0764151371 and ISBN-13: 9780764151378.<br />
<br />
The author, Andrea Bergamini, has written other books on music like Beethoven and the Classical Age, Music of the World, and Le rock. Also, a great deal of appreciation goes to the book's illustrator, Ivan Stalio, who has illustrated numerous volumes such as: The Atlas of World Religions, Adapting to the Environment, The Animal Atlas, The History of Technology, Life Cycles, Mammals, and Plants.<br />
<br />
With its large pages filled with bright photos, graphics, and illustrations, this young adult book is a delightful book to read and enjoy for people of all ages.<br />

Statistically, chances are you do because most people have embraced this form of music since its development in the 1950's and '60's. Now answer this: Do you like classical music? Statistically, chances are you don't. In 2009, rock, pop, and other related music accounted for almost 80% of global music sales, while classical music limped along at an underwhelming 5.5%.<br />
<br />
Many people may feel that classical music appreciation is something that is beyond them. It is only for certain people who have spent many years studying it. However, it may be easier than you think to develop an appreciation for this wonderful art form by tapping into the same parts of yourself that respond so readily to rock music.<br />
<br />
As with the development of any popular cultural art form, rock music reflects and assimilates the spirit of the times in which it was born, incorporating all the rebellion and passion of an emerging new consciousness. In its own time, classical music did the same. These musical genres are really not all that different. The elements they share relate to our emotions and to aspects of the human experience that are timeless and universal.<br />
<br />
The things we like about rock music are its harmonic and melodic simplicity, its powerful rhythmic pulse, and its direct emotional impact. So the key is to start with classical music that has these elements and go from there. Once a bridge has been built from these common elements, then it is easier to gradually venture into music that may challenge your ear a bit. From there an immense world of beautiful and interesting music can be discovered.<br />
<br />
Here are the best classical pieces to start with:<br />
<br />
1. Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 - Start with the first movement. Listen to it multiple times - each time you will get more out of it. Pretty soon you won't be able to get it out of your head. Don't forget to turn up the volume! Conductors do make a difference, so I would recommend Karajan, Abbado, Bernstein or Ormandy. There are others, but it is best to stick with an established name at first - they usually record with great orchestras. Later you might try the 5th and 6th symphonies of Tchaikovsky.<br />
<br />
2. Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 - Use the same procedure as above. Add Kleiber and Reiner to that list of conductors. After this, all of Beethoven's symphonies are pretty awesome - try No. 3.<br />
<br />
3. Brahms' Symphony No. 4 - With Brahms there is a lot of contrast, so the climactic sections will be interspersed with slower, lyrical sections that build.<br />
<br />
4. Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5, last movement - This is a proverbial "barn burner" from Shostakovich's most accessible symphony. Also try No. 10, movement 2 - although a little more adventurous, it is very powerful.<br />
<br />
5. Elgar's Cello Concerto, first movement - This music was featured in the movie Hilary and Jackie, and popularized by early 60's cello phenomenon Jacqueline Du Pre. Add conductor Barenboim.<br />
<br />
6. Mozart's Requiem Mass in D Minor - Made famous in the movie Amadeus I would recommend conductor Karajan. This one will knock your socks off!<br />
<br />
So start with these suggested works and enjoy your journey of discovery. As you listen you will notice that the same forces are at work in these pieces as are in those that draw you to rock. It just takes a very slight shift in perception. So slight, in fact, that many rock artists borrow freely from their classical predecessors to create hits like All By Myself, Russians, Could It Be Magic and Groovy Kind Of Love. You may even find that as you listen, you begin to develop a new appreciation and understanding not only of classical music, but of rock music as well.</div>olgahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02154942985545399957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3848916730003524075.post-49133813150873870922011-12-22T18:47:00.000-08:002012-03-10T18:54:24.712-08:00Rock Music Code<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="317" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgusbo9HjQUdhmdQkdmh_oVdaOOA_WRkGxTaBleH6TGyTz6amn4MqXeN5gohw4CuPj2NidOFJAGnDlk5X-yLI7s-3iia9QBGn7nv_7LPAGpDS5171XQReoxJAPVDYS4tCk1MS3bg5dW6Cs/s400/Rock+Music+Code.jpg" width="400" /></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Music code is the stuff that computer software writers write. It is all the letters, numbers, symbols, and so on that ultimately add up to calculations and finally becoming images and sounds on the computer. HTML is one type of code. HTML is the basic code for most websites. The content of the HTML code of a website determines what will be shown and where, what will move and how, and what will make noise and when.<br />
<br />
Rock music code, therefore, is an HTML code that can be pasted into the existing HTML code that makes up the website. The code will direct the website to play pre-determined rock music when the user accesses the website. Rock music code is available for any type of website. It can also be used for the free template websites such as Blogger, Livejournal, Friendster, and so on. Anything that accepts HTML can allow for rock music code.<br />
<br />
First, choose what song you would like. Would you like some Aerosmith? How about some Elvis Presley? Or how about something more modern, like 311, Madonna, Nine Inch Nails, or Rasputina? These codes are available. You can find them online for free or by paying for them a reasonable amount of money. Private individuals often offer these rock music codes to the general public, although copyright infringement can come into play if you're not careful about what you put up on your website or blog.<br />
<br />
Whatever rock music code you choose, you can always change it later. So in the meantime, rock and roll, baby.<br />

Some of these instruments include pianos, violas and other such instruments from the baroque era and other time periods. Many musical performers in the modern era transition from piano and classical music to more popular genres such as rock and classic rock. Many people learn to work on the piano initially, and they can use piano benches, a piano bench, or a sheet music cabinet to learn their trade and become better at their jobs. One of the more popular genres in modern music is rock, and amongst that subset there are tons of famous musicians and people who have made their mark on the world of modern music. In the upcoming paragraphs some of the more famous rock acts of the modern era will be discussed and some bands who have done an excellent job of becoming famous and making a name for themselves in modern rock.<br />
<br />
One of the more famous rock bands of the modern era is Green Day. Green Day is from Oakland, California and has produced a lot of brilliant music that has reached a global audience. One of their more popular and famous albums is called American Idiot, which was also possibly their most famous album and produced numerous number one hits in the American pop charts. The album that really set the band apart from other groups was called Dookie, which was the group's debut album that really brought them to fame and made them stand out from all the other punk bands that are around in the modern music scene. The band's most recent album is called 21st Century Breakdown and is apparently themed around the pitfalls of modern American society and the problems that exist in the country.<br />
<br />
Another famous rock group in the modern era is Blink 182. Blink 182 gained their notoriety in the mid to late 1990's when they came out with a string of records that captured the angst and anger of the teenage population of the country. Recently, and unfortunately, the band has split up and there are a number of different side projects that the various band members are taking part in to take up their time. Blink 182 is probably most famous for their drummer Travis Barker, who is recognized as one of the best drummers in the world, and who was up until recently involved in a high profile relationship with his ex wife.<br />
<br />
Finally, a famous rock group from the recent era is Nirvana. Since the death of lead singer and main artistic influence Kurt Cobain, the band split up into numerous projects amongst their members which include Christ Novocelic who plays in the band the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Dave Grohl who is the lead singer and main influence behind the band the Foo Fighters. Something that few people know is that much modern rock music is influenced by classical music and older instruments.<br />

This extremely famous form has attained great recognition and adulation amongst the music lovers for several decades. The most admirable aspect of this genre is its variety and unique style. This form uses several high tech instruments which give an attractive and interesting appeal to it. The instruments like synthesizers, mouth organ and piano etc are used while playing the melodies. Rock is the modern and advanced form of music that is comparatively faster and louder than the conventional genres like classic and folk. It gives the artists a liberty to experiment with variety of styles and express themselves with freedom. The soul of rock is the rock band or the group of musicians and singers who collectively play the songs.<br />
<br />
The youth is simply crazy for this form of music; they are ardent fans of the various rock stars. The rock albums take you through the various aspects and emotions of life. The words of the songs simply enthrall the senses and thrill the listeners. In this kind of music the prominent vocal melody is accompanied with hard instruments like drums, brass and guitar etc, along with the mellotrans and other keyboard instruments.<br />
<br />
Some rock bands also use the conventional instruments like harmonica, melodica, banjo etc. Some highly creative artists have experimented a lot with the less known instruments like sitar and mandolin. This gave their songs a completely different appeal.<br />
<br />
Rock music evolved around 1940's and 1950's. This genre is highly influenced by the country music and blues which were very popular around that time. This style was basically a blue-based song with fast and peppy dance tracks. One can find the classic albums on various online music stores. You can search top rock music albums on the internet.<br />
<br />
The rock reached great heights with several amazing rock stars that awed the audiences with amazing performances. Elvis Presley is the most admired and popular artist in the world of rock; his astounding style, classic dance movements and incredible songs entertained the music lovers. The Beetles is the most famous and highly applauded rock band. They had the most numbers of the chart topping hits.<br />
<br />
Eventually by the late 1960's the various rock bands emerged which were famous amongst the music lovers at that time. The bands from United States and Britain gained immense popularity. Some of the most famous bands were Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Queen and Judas Priest.<br />
<br />
By the 1980 the glam metal genre made waves in the rock music world. Bon Jovi, New York Dolls, Sweet, Guns and Roses, Twisted Sister and Kiss were the several most popular artistes of the 1980's.

Whether it is The Beatles, ACDC, Pearl Jam or Nirvana, they rocked the music charts in the late 70's to early 90's. The music freaks especially the rock and rollers, continued the fan circle to uplift the gloom of their beloved artists. The artists also loved their freaks and they made them banged on their concerts with their rock and roll outs of guitars, drums, and keyboards with sloppy piano covers and piano bench covers. People found all the entertainment in one single podium and they always waited for a new arrival of their favorite stars.<br />
<br />
Talking about Nirvana, a rock band from the late 80's, they thrashed the music charts by their first debut album "Bleach". It gave a unique sound to the listeners but still very dominating to own the rock charts. Later on as time passed by, some other artists picked up the Hype and rock music industry was dancing up in the skies. This is the tone which hit many ears and delighted many hearts with its sole thud. Different bands from different regions came across the board which also propagated the listeners' populace.<br />
<br />
Among some other rockers, Pearl Jam was also one of the hot favorites in 1990's. There debut album "Ten McCready" ruled the people ears and they came up with a big boom in rock industry. This grew the industry with a more different sound and people were addicted on listening rock music. The rock genre got included and more popular in those times.<br />
<br />
The growl of the Leppards can never be forgettable as Def Leppard was the mid-rockers of late 80's. They gave wings to the soft rock genre and also raised the influence of soft listeners to come into a combination of some alternative touch. The band came up with a unique line up and they introduced new genres to the rock music like Alt metal.<br />
<br />
When on one side the rock bands hyped the rock music they also sat a trend in the cloth fashion industry. When the fans saw the artists playing in their casual sloppy dresses, they became freak of adapting the same fashion in their normal life. Torn jeans with leather jackets, big buckles and long boats became common in the cloth wear. The trend became popular as the die-hard fans were mad to wear the same trend set clothes.<br />
<br />
All That Remains, Katatonia, Cold and Papa Roach are some of today's formation. Some of them formed in the 90's, but remained underground and practiced their music for about 10 to 15 years. Today we can see their music flowing in all the multiple genres of Alt metal, Thrash metal, Rap core and Death metal. Today a rock listener is well aware of different rock genres, this have boomed the presence of rock industry. The influence tells that in the future the rock music is going to be more dominating than ever.<br />

It's good.<br />
<br />
Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.<br />
<br />
Untouchables is a nicely varied, mix of 15 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly gifted musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They're all here.<br />
<br />
Overall Untouchables is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memnry. A must have for the Rock fan. Really sensational from beginning to end.<br />
<br />
While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 5 - Bottled Up Inside, track 8 - One More Time, and track 15 - Here To Stay<br />
<br />
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Here To Stay. Good stuff!<br />
<br />
