The rhythm of rock music will not be like Folk guitar is continuous like that. Generally speaking, its syncopated rhythm is very clear, and each syncopation has clear intervals, resulting in a strong sense of rhythm. This is also the main difference between folk guitar rhythm and rock rhythm.
Question 2: What are the basic characteristics of rock music? 1. The emergence of rock music
1. Background
Looking back at the history of the United States in the first half of the 20th century, from the 20th century From the late 1930s to the mid-1930s, an economic crisis occurred in Europe and the United States, leading to the Great Depression; in the late 1930s, World War II broke out; in 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and the United States entered the anti-fascist war, which did not end until 1945. Looking at the 1950s and beyond, the 1950s were a relatively stable and prosperous period in the United States, and are often regarded as a prosperous era for Americans. The 1960s were one of the most turbulent years in American history. As a result of sending troops to participate in the Vietnam War, it was opposed by the people, which put the country in a state of extreme social and political instability.
In the 1950s, especially after Eisenhower became president in 1952, the U.S. economy began to stabilize and the entire society was living and working in peace and contentment. As a result, the middle class gradually increased, they raised children, and a baby boom occurred. The number of teenagers has increased unprecedentedly, and the world has suddenly become a world dominated by young people. At that time, children generally stayed with their families in their after-school life. The TV programs are also relatively healthy, and there is not a big gap in musical taste. The music that young and old people appreciate is basically the same. It is all music played by big bands in the 1940s and 1950s, as well as the Ding Bang Alley songs that have lasted for decades. The lyrics often express pure love and the music is not threatening. Harmony, try to give people a feeling of comfort and tranquility.
By the mid-1950s, these teenagers had superior living conditions and had not experienced war and suffering like their parents. At the same time, they were favored by their families. Therefore, they began to not understand the thinking and life of their parents. way, unwilling to follow the path arranged by their parents. They have their own pursuits and hobbies, and because of the strength of the people, they form a powerful force. They no longer follow their parents to appreciate sentimental pop songs. At this time, they just found their voice in rock music. Rock music is simple, powerful and straightforward, especially its strong rhythm, which is consistent with the energetic and active characteristics of teenagers; the unrestrained performance style of rock music is consistent with their rebellious psychology; the theme of rock music singing is consistent with what they are doing. issues of concern are closely related.
2. The emergence of rock music
In the early 1950s, a tripartite phenomenon emerged in the American pop music market. The music that black people appreciate is basically rhythm and blues, white people above the middle class listen to jingle bang alley songs, and rural listeners in the Midwest like country music related to rural life. However, by the mid-1950s (about 1954-1956), two obvious phenomena appeared in the record market, namely market crossover and the emergence of cover versions. Market crossover refers to a record originally released in one market that also achieves good results in another market. For example, some songs are at the top of the R&B sales charts and are also very popular on the pop charts. Seeing this lucrative market crossover, some major record labels were quick to create their own versions of popular R&B songs, resulting in numerous cover versions. At this time, the wall in the middle of the three markets that were originally separated suddenly felt like it collapsed. In this ruins, a new style - rock music was officially born.
Rock music was officially born in the mid-1950s, but the term appeared in the early 1950s.
In 1951, Cleveland radio disc jockey Alan Freed sang "We're Gonna Rock, We're Gonna Roll" from a rhythm and blues song. The term Rock n' Roll was coined. The release of the movie "Blackboard Jungle" in 1955 had a huge impact on the emergence of rock music. It tells the story of a group of students who rebelled. A middle school teacher sang a song to this group of students. This song was the film's episode "Rock Around The Clock" (Example 16). The song created a huge sensation among teenagers. 195...gt;gt;
Question 3: The style characteristics of rock music. In its purest form, the so-called rock and roll refers to three elements: strong and continuous drum beats and vocals. melody. (But in fact, there is no clear definition yet) The biggest feature of rock and roll is that the rhythm is stronger than other styles. Other types of styles also have their own characteristics. (I won’t analyze them one by one in detail) Rock classification Heavy Metal (heavy metal) Alternative Metal (alternative metal) Black Metal (black metal) Indie Rock (independent rock) Industrial Metal (industrial metal) Agricultural Metal (agricultural metal) Progressive Metal (avant-garde metal) ) Death Metal/Black Metal Goth Metal Punk Acid Rock Blues-Rock Anarchist Punk Britpop ) Celtic Rock (Celtic Rock) Glam Rock (Glam Rock) Punk Revival (Revival Punk) Visual Kei (Visual Kei Rock) Mountain Rock (Rockabilly) Art Rock (Art Rock) Emo (Emotional Core, Non-Mainstream Punk)

Question 5: The artistic characteristics of rock music The essence of rock and roll lies in attitude
Be deviant and go your own way. Resist mainstream culture and denounce political authority.
Express your truest emotions without any disguise.
Rock and roll is about exploding the raw life force into gasoline and then using it to extinguish the raging fire of the soul.
If you are asking about the characteristics of music, I cannot answer you.
There are many types of rock music, including heavy metal, British rock, psychedelic rock, alternative rock, hard rock, punk, new wave, post-punk, college rock, folk rock, opera rock, death rock, black metal, experimental rock, piano Rock, hardcore punk, nu metal, thrash metal, glam rock, grunge rock, gothic rock, industrial rock, etc... Different instruments, different people, different content, different beliefs, different melodies.... ..The only *** similarity is probably my answer at the beginning
Question 6: What is rock and roll? What is the meaning of rock music? What is rock n' roll? This question needs to be answered thousands of times. In fact, as long as a new generation appears in the hall of music, this question will be raised again. So, what is Rock N' Roll? First of all Rock and roll is not only a form of music, but in fact it is an "attitude and philosophy of life." It is precisely because of this that rock and roll is different from ordinary pop music (Pop Music). Although some singers now use guitar solos in their performances and use a lot of feedback (Fadeback), distortion (Distortion) and other effects, the drum part is as heavy as the real thing, but due to the lack of "spirit" in the creation This theme is, at best, just pop music packaged in "rock".
"Spirit" can actually be described in one word, that is "change". Early rock combined blues and country music (Blues & County), but in fact the two styles of music were contradictory to each other at the time. At that time, racial discrimination in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s was still very deep. Blacks and whites had very different living habits and humanistic thoughts. Traditionally, whites listened to country music, while blacks listened to blues or gospel music. There are clear boundaries between each other. Today, Apollo is regarded as an oddity of modern American music, and things are really changing. At that time, many musicians were dissatisfied with this division, so they combined this kind of music together to form the form of rock music
Question 7: The rhythm and melody characteristics of rock music! Urgent!!!! ! You should have some knowledge of music theory, but you don’t know how to create rock music because you don’t understand what rock music is.
Rock music is theoretically fluid in terms of musical form. Because rock music contains many styles, folk, various ethnic groups, classical, blues, electronic, jazz, religion, pop... can all become rock music. In addition to the music styles mentioned above that can become rock music, there are also some unique styles created by rock music itself, such as metal, punk, psychedelic and so on. To put it simply, rock music is a combination of literature and music, with literature as the main body and music as the carrier. Rock music literature comes from real life feelings and attitudes. You are free to decide what music carrier to use.
You are talking about how to write a rock music score in terms of rhythm, melody, etc., then the answer I will tell you is: casual
From a music theory perspective, for example, I like classical and folk songs , then the classical and folk styles will appear in the rock music I make.
So, you have to first determine which music style you prefer, or whether you want to break the tradition and create some rock music.
Maybe you are a little confused, so let me put it another way and tell you that rock music is not just music rock. Musical rock is not rock and roll. Just like disco, DJ dance music, the music is hot but not rock and roll. (But rock music also incorporates Digo and DJ dance music)
When I say that rock is not just a form of music, it means what I said above.
The music form of Jay Chou's song "Nunchaku" sounds like a metal style in rock music, but why is this song not rock? That's a matter of attitude.
I’m tired. I don’t know if you understand what I said. Finally, say something important.
You listen to too little rock, and I even doubt whether you like rock, so I asked this question. In fact, if you talk about the creative characteristics of metal rock, funk rock, blues rock and other styles, then I can easily answer it. But you are asking about the creative characteristics of rock music, which only means that you do not understand rock music.
Maybe someone told you how to compose a metal song or a punk song, but the rock song you ended up writing is probably similar to Jay Chou and is not classified as rock music.
You should listen to more rock music and ask yourself why you like rock music. It is necessary to understand some of the history of rock and roll. This way you don’t have to ask this question. Otherwise, you are very likely to have really become a fake rocker, or I have really become a fake rocker...
Question 8: What kind of music is rock music? I will give you 20 points Copy the previous answer. Someone asked before, shouldn’t rock music be very high? Why is the Beatles considered rock music? Then I gave him the answer to what kind of music is rock music, so this answer also applies to your question.
Part One, the prelude to the birth of rock music
Original by One Inch Knife Mark
First, let’s look at the history of the United States. After the black slaves were liberated, there was nothing they could do about it. Although they worked collectively, the life of black slaves was still not guaranteed. Adding to the problems of racial discrimination... the life of black people was often very miserable.
In the past, the labor chants used by black people during collective labor (similar to the songs of comrades working harder) have also become solo performances.
These songs sung alone inherited the previous scale and were more melancholy (the scale is 1 b3 4 b5 5 b7, b is a flat), and became blues songs (blues)
Later, some blues songs strengthened the rhythm and the drum part was highlighted, which became rhythm and blues (Ramp; B, R is rhythm, B is blues)
Attention! These songs were black music that white people disdained to listen to. Not even white farmers listened
Part 2, the birth of rock and roll
Original by One Inch Knife Mark
Later, some people developed rhythm and blues, making this The style absorbed the ordinary pop music of white people (Tingpan Lane music). Well, it was actually a little more sophisticated and still belonged to rhythm and blues, but in fact this was early rock and roll. (Note that early pop music did not have drums, only black music had drums)
Then, because of historical coincidence, there were several poor white people, such as Elvis Presley. I grew up with black people and was influenced by black people. My musical foundation is rhythm and blues. I can also sing country music. Of course, as a white man, I also know a little bit about ordinary pop music.
Such a singer can attract blacks, whites, and farmers at the same time. Record companies naturally develop vigorously.
This is rock and roll.
In other words, 50 years ago, anything with drums mixed with some normal music styles (as opposed to pure roaring and purely black-style music) was called rock and roll.
At the same time, rock and roll could also be used as a dance music in that era.
Later, the British paid more attention to melody and strengthened the melody part of rock music. For example, the Beatles you asked were the early representatives of British rock.
The third stage. The development of rock and the distortion of its impression.
An Inch Knife Original
On the one hand, rock music has different bands that highlight the characteristics of black music (mainstream rock), the characteristics of country music (country rock), and the characteristics of white music (pop, Pop rock)
On the other hand, it is also developing in a heavier and faster direction, thus giving birth to hard rock. We say that now, rock generally refers to hard rock. In fact, hard rock It's not very different from mainstream rock.
But there is really no difference between early rock & roll and blues. Anything that is slightly different can be classified as hard rock, and anything that is not different is blues
Original by Yinchang Daowen
Hard For rock music, just listen to the songs of The Who.
Starting from hard rock, rock music was officially born. After that, rock music went through several developments.
First of all, in the late 1960s, hard rock gradually developed into heavy metal. In the transition stage, there were three famous bands, led zeppelin, a blues-hard rock group.
Deep Purple is a hard rock band with hints of heavy metal.
Black sabbath is the beginning of heavy metal.
Starting from Black Sabbath, the concept of riff (repeated section) was highlighted and the sound was very heavy. From this, heavy metal was officially born.
Later, Britain became politically unstable, and music became more and more inclined to be pretentious, so a bunch of bands that directly criticized *** were born. Their playing style was high-speed, simple, and primitive. Thus, punk music was born.
Later, the heavy metal revival (started in the UK) removed the characteristics of hard rock and blues and became official heavy metal music. At this point, pure heavy metal was officially born.
As a result, everyone’s impression of rock has changed from pop music with drums to heavy metal and punk music... At the same time, some *** regard electronic dance music as rock music, because in some In electronic dance music, the DJ often shouts for us to shake. Although electronic dance music is HIGH, it has nothing to do with rock. Maybe it just regards rock as a synonym for "rebellion"
In fact, rock is a Finally, a real "instrumental performance" instrument, which is fundamentally opposed to the extensive use of synthesizers.
And some people also advocate that metal music and traditional rock should be regarded as...gt;gt;
Question 9: What is the difference between metal music and rock music? What are their characteristics? 5 points Dialogue about pop music hi.baidu/...c4a3c3
Question 10: What are the styles of rock music? Hard Rock (Hard Rock)
A rock style developed from blues in the early 1960s. It has relatively strong guitar distortion, more complex guitars, more lead guitar components, and a stronger blues flavor. The earliest rock bands such as ROLLING STONES, The WHO, BLOOD SWEAT & TEAR, etc., and later LED ZEPPELIN, AC/DC, CHEAP TRICK, etc. can be said to be hard rock bands. Hard rock and heavy metal are often not easy to distinguish, and different people have different ways of distinguishing. Some people think that the music before the 1970s is called hard rock, and the music after the 1970s is called heavy metal; some people think that guitars with smaller distortion are hard rock, and guitars with stronger distortion are heavy metal; some people think that the hair is half-long but not short, and long hair is hard rock. It's heavy metal; some people think that American bands are hard rock (Americans call METALLICA a hard rock band), and bands from other countries are heavy metal. My opinion is that rhythm guitar is less expressive than hard rock, and rhythm guitar is less expressive than riff. The strong and dominant force in the song is heavy metal. But there is no need to make such a clear distinction. Hard and heavy are both the musical qualities we like.
Heavy Metal
A rock style developed from blues and hard rock in the late 1960s. Metallic guitar distortion and repeated guitar riffs are the most important elements of heavy metal. Characteristics, heavy metal covers a very wide range and has many categories. It is the largest branch of rock music since the 1970s, and can also be said to be the most orthodox rock music.
Typical bands include BLACK SABBATH (the first heavy metal band), MOTORHEAD, IRON MAIDEN, SLAYER, BATHORY, DEATH, DARKTHRONE and so on. Heavy metal and hard rock are often conflated, see hard rock. The word heavy metal has been abused for a while. In the 1980s, many popular metals and even pop rock were called "heavy metal", and many people were misled. Here, heavy metal has a broader meaning. But sometimes the word "heavy metal" also refers specifically to the most typical heavy metal bands such as OZZY OSBOURNE, ACCEPT, JUDAS PRIEST, etc. It is usually difficult for them to be divided into any one faction, so they have to simply call it heavy metal.
Metal
Due to the proliferation of popular metal and even pop rock in the 1980s, the word "heavy metal" has been overused. When it comes to heavy metal, the first thing people think of is Bands like BON JOVI and GUNS 'N ROSES seem to represent heavy metal music. As a result, many bands and music fans began to dislike "heavy metal". They began to refer to the more core and tougher heavy metal music as "metal" music. In other words, "metal" is heavier and more sophisticated than "heavy metal". Tough. However, later the word gradually became a symbol of temperament, and thus became more abstract and difficult to explain. It is a comprehensive feature of thought, image, timbre, and arrangement. For example, we can say that METALLICA had a strong metal flavor in the early days, but it almost disappeared later; we can also say that among the popular metal in the 1980s, WASP was more metal; we can also call BLACK SABBATH a metal band, while LED ZEPPELIN At most we can say it is a heavy metal band; JUDAS PRIEST, IRON MAIDEN, OVERKILL, etc. all have a strong metal temperament, while AC/DC, DEF LEPPARD, and SLAYER have a weaker metal temperament (because they have stronger metal temperaments respectively) (meaning of blues, pop and punk); death metal is the most metal among extreme metals, because grindcore has a strong punk flavor and the tone of black metal is too dirty - in short, this is indeed an indescribable word.
Acid Rock
Psychedelic rock, popular in the mid-to-late 1960s, is one of the products of the hippie movement. Its music is characterized by deafening strong rhythms and sharp and loud electric guitar solo or duo performances. Different from heavy metal rock, psychedelic rock does not have a certain musical form, and has more improvisational elements. Its melodic tones are varied and often full of wonderful and gorgeous performances. Acidic(a...gt;gt;
