Drum 'n' bass (1) Apply Drum 'n' bass filter.Rock and roll (3) Apply Rock and roll filter.Singer-songwriter (4) Apply Singer-songwriter filter.Miscellaneous (8) Apply Miscellaneous filter.(Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, Cream, AC/DC, Genesis, Deep Purple, the Who.just on and on and on it went.to include further iterations of Pink Floyd post Syd.)īut again I use as my Rock Standard "Monkey Man" by the Rolling Stones and in the opposite "Day Tripper as NOT ROCK" by the Beatles (with a great start only to turn into a single chord changed 4 bar blues snores-ville append.)Īnother Rock Standard is "Travelling Riverside Blues" by Led Zeppelin which again starts with an oddly melodic guitar riff that gets "slammed" by the drummer in all the wrong places.same too with The Who's "Baba O'Riley" so no if you're simply counting "1234" that is not Rock'n Roll meaning not only is there ZERO backing beat but all rhythm is in fact front and center and kind of "battling it out on stage" like the inside of Syd Barrett's mind. and amazingly for early Pink Floyd "with everyone else being off together!" which just, well.really aning you as the observer just kind of stand their and stare at the music which using music as some normative form is supposed to be literally "off putting" but if one goes to an Opera what in fact is the Audience doing? And that would be "well, pretty much sitting there and staring" meaning "right boring, mate!" or "the punch of an Italian Army in World War 2" meaning basically "joke music" that is way into itself.Īnyhow to point out this was no accident look at what came out of Great Britain from the 1960s starting with Syd and it truly was an explosion in.
The master of this was Syd Barrett of early Pink Floyd fame who kinda went bonkers as is all too often the norm in not even knowing you've invented an entirely new and beyond belief popular musical form but if you listen to "Interstellar Overdrive" or even "I've got a Bike!" you can really here a guy who's really "playing with the music"(I don't think he was much interested in guitar in the first place) meaning something meant to be literally "off". In other words there need not be indeed ideally there no "set beat" per se but an "off-putting" meaning "downbeat." This is not in any way Marching Band music nor even worse "carnaval music" with a dainty keyboard riff of legendarily bad Dire Straits infamy ("Walk of Life.") I think correctly spoken is "the downbeat" makes for rock and roll (for example monkey man by the Rolling Stones.) So the first question to ask yourself with regard to a specific rhythm's history is: was dance a part of its origin? If so, the rhythm section is shaped around it even (or sometimes particularly so) if the dance has become dissociated with the style (take a look at Piazzolla's Tango Nuevo works in concert settings for a newer example). Rhythms are rooted in dancing: even the highly artificial Bach solo partitas for violin (and his orchestra suites) are mostly composed of dances and thus rhythms familiar to the audience. The percussion went along with the action. The Rock'n'Roll doubles down on the Jive by putting an actual kick on the off-beat (cf this video from the 2013 World Dance Sport games Rock'n'Roll finals).Įarly Rock'n'Roll performances were largely dancing events, with the kicks being a seminal part of its youth-perverting appeal (it did show off the petticoats). The off-beats are often sideways direction changes which are much easier to accent than forward/backward reversals).
The Jive already has somewhat stronger movement accents on the off-beats (the 1 is a step backward that is immediately reversed so you cannot put weight down at this speed. Rock'n'Roll is not least of all a dance with its roots in the somewhat faster Jive.
