Music Genre: Rock

Rock music evolved primarily from the blues and country music in the 1950’s before becoming popular in the 60’s. Since the 70’s numerous sub genres have been created such as heavy metal and Britpop, these are often shaped by the influence of other genres. The main instrument used is the guitar either electric or acoustic which is often played by the lead vocalist. This is ordinarily accompanied with drums, bass guitar and the keyboard to create a strong back beat.
