The Influences of Rock
Some of the primary influences of Rock, similar to Jazz, are the styles of rhythm and blues and country. Jazz also was a major contributor to the Rock sound, in combination with folk and classical music, and has seen influence from soul, funk, and Latin. It originated in both the U.K. and the U.S. around the same time period, and many British artists had a major influence on American rock, such as the Liverpool group “The Beatles.”
The Instrumentation of Rock
Rock utilizes a combination of drums, electric or sometimes acoustic guitar, a base guitar, and a vocalist. Occasionally, the group in question will decide to utilize a keyboard or wind instrument as a solo voice.
