Rhythm guitar

there were some types that I preferred. Of the blues selections provided in the modules Keb Mo’s blues song “Am I Wrong” was by far my favorite. I believe that I prefered this blues songs over the others was for its upbeat feeling and repetition of rhythm. I also really liked the song of the artist's voice as it felt very original. The lyrics are modern feeling and have meaning, talking about a relationship and cheating, while maintaining some distinct blues features. I did not…

knowing where the melody and the rhythm of the song was heading towards. Instead of confusion, I felt excitement as it reminded me of other songs I have heard before. It reminded me of a certain part of the song “Sivad” by Miles Davis. During the 9’13” mark in the song “Sivad”, there is a sporadic playing coming from the electric guitar as the rest of the band played their instruments with certain amount of calmness to it[]. This contrast allows the electric guitar to sound even more out of a…

For over 90 of years’ country music has been an enjoyable source of entertainment for millions of people around the world. With the reputation of an upbeat and feel good vibe country songs have, it is no wonder country music has been around for so long. Country artists are specifically known for singing about the outdoors, relationships, and alcohol. They are able to provide a direct connection using these three topics, between themselves and their audiences. Country music usually consists of a…

their Jazz night, which hosted the Jazz band Burnett 's Bliss. Burnett Anderson is the leader of the band, vocalist and horn player; his fellow band members are, Lynn Willard on the keyboards, Ronnie Stewart on the drums, and Robert Sebastian on the guitar. The band members are very friendly and helpful. After my friends and I were seated at a table, the guitarist approached us and offer to provide us a list of the musicians and the title of the first song of the show. I then proceeded to ask…

Your groove: perhaps how music makes you feel, how it stimulates your body with the beat of a drum or the riff of a guitar. My groove: on the same level as your groove, only it goes just a bit further than just the feel. A machinist’s groove: the point at which a tool does work. We all see groove differently, figuratively and technically. We’ll be focusing on grooves that match up, your’s and mine, and how we’ll see that groove is more than just feelings. We’ll be exploring groove’s historically…

Davis. Most people consider jazz being created in New Orleans, but its roots began from African rhythms. Freed African-American slaves helped create jazz at the end of the 19th century. African music influenced jazz by use of rhythm, improvisation, call and response, and narrative techniques. Rhythm is an important part in jazz. If there is no groove, then entertainment is not found. African rhythms are used in jazz constantly. For…

The song begins with a guitar and some form of a shaker instrument. After a few seconds, a drum joins in and keeps the instruments in harmony while providing the beat for the other instruments to follow. The late addition of the drums was definitely unexpected and is the reason…

“I don't know of a guitar player that has only one guitar. They're never happy with one. I'm never happy with just one of them. I woke up and ended up with six, even if you can only play one at a time!” (Les Paul). Finding the right guitar a very important thing that every guitar player has to go through. There are two guitars that can nearly give a guitar player the guitar that they have been dreaming about. The Fender Stratocaster, and The Gibson Les Paul are similar in ways but also very…

tend to get sick of each other. We’d argue and complain about the music, a lot. One time I just ended up leaving mid recording because everything was sounding off. I lost my cool and just couldn’t take them anymore, so I left the band. Grabbed my guitar and left. Sometimes I regret leaving the band because they were my friends and I did like hanging out with them, but we only hung out to make songs. I wanted friends to go be around with besides just making…

At first, it was about the rhythm, but it was never just about the rhythm. Music didn’t captivate me because of the power it had to make my body move, beginning with the tapping of my foot and ending with the opening up of my vocal cords. In fact, it was about my mother and the joy I saw on her face as she listened to traditional Peruvian creole music in a restaurant. On October 31, 2016, the night of Halloween, my little brother was predictably complaining because we were celebrating Peruvian…
