blog 12



I picked classic rock for my sub genre for rock. One of the more popular kinds of rock. One of the main instruments used is the guitar. I really don’t know much about this genre but saw that it would be interesting to write about. One of the most famous groups associated with this type of music are “ The Beatles”. They use the electric guitar in their music equipped to an amplifier. They usually perform in front of big crowds because of their popularity and because they are well known the audience are familiar with their type of music. I would say that this type of rock is geared towards younger people but however anyone can play. The music can be fast tempo or slow depending on the song, the music is very loud so the audience can hear it very clearly. Usually the performers are consisted of a band and each person plays a different instrument. There are many different instruments including the drums. Usually there is one lead singer followed by back up singers. The male voice tending to be a little higher in vocals than what they are today, some of it because they required it for the song they sang. The clip shows a couple of the Beatles hit songs.
