SOUL SOUND

Directly originated from the rock and roll. The genre is specified as energetic, powerful as well as loud music. There are also subgenres such as heavy metal, hard rock and blues-rock but all the mentioned genres have the same features and are considered as a trademark to the public which is a string instrument called guitar or electric guitar to be specific. Rock mainly consists of a group of people or bands where there's a guitarist, a drummer and a vocalist as its core members. The electric guitar is mostly accompanied with distortions, pedals and other tools that provide unique and favorable tones that are expressed in the speaker known as an amplifier.

A well-known band before that falls to the specified genre are Guns N' Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine”. The structure of the song started in an iconic riff by the guitarist that first started as his “simple warm-up notes” the other bandmates thought otherwise. Slowly the song was built by sections that the bandmates contributed and after its release, it became a success. The song basically came together almost accidentally when the band was jamming in practice sessions at their house in their established place. Slash, one of the band members, came up with the guitar riff and drummer Steven Adler came up with a beat. Vocalist Axl Rose was upstairs listening to this new music forming at their house and started working on the lyrics. Slash and Axl Rose were the major contributors to the lyrics of the song, which were based on Axl’s girlfriend at the time-Erin Everly.

Jimi Hendrix’s “Hey Joe” are well known songs because of the guitar’s role in the song. It sets the standard for the whole genre in America as the song was published. The song first emerged as an edgy, twitchy stab of primal garage rock much that was covered in the early 60s performed live in the US West Coast. The song was popularly known that it was predicted by rights to have scared off other artists from approaching the song for decades but has been covered hundreds of times, with hugely varying degrees of success.
