The Difference Between Punk And Ska
.... snappy. Ska also uses a lot of unusual effects just for fun.
Punk bands have a lead guitar player, and sometimes a rhythm guitarist who backs up the lead guitarist. In ska, all the guitars make quick, snappy, upward strums and quickly palm mute the strings. All of the guitarists do the same thing, and occasionally someone will have a solo.
One of the other ways ska and punk can be identified is by the beat. In punk music, the beat of the drums is very quick, strong, and steady. Punk guitar also uses power chords to emphasize the beat. Ska’s beat is easier to identify because of the beat that the guitar makes.
Ska and pun .....

Jazz Age
.... tradition in New Orleans jazz.
The first true virtuoso soloist of jazz, Louie Armstrong was a dazzling improviser, technically, emotionally, and intellectually. Armstrong, often called the “father of jazz,” always spoke with deference, bordering on awe, of his musical roots, and with especial devotion of his mentor Joe Oliver. He changed the format of jazz by bringing the soloist to the forefront, and in his recording groups, the Hot Five and the Hot seven, demonstrated that jazz improvisation could go far beyond simply ornamenting the melody. Armstrong was one of the first jazz musicians to refine a rhythmic conception that a .....

.... sunburnt face.
Silverchair's leader Daniel Johns has been thinking long and hard about what's happening today, and through he's made a killing off the record biz and never has to work another day in his life, he's decided to lead a youth revolt against "overweight people in suits": hence, "Anthem For the Year 2000," complete with a Siverchair countdown calendar.

.... out against society and some of its norms. He discussed the hardships of being a black man in a society that has a tendency to discriminate and single out black males and accuses them of criminal activity. As he got older and did more albums, he started to single out certain people that made it hard for him to further his music and acting career. He mentions Dolores Tucker, Bill Clinton, and Bob Dole in his song “How do you want it.” In “Picture Me Rolling,” he talks about Clinton Correctional Facilities and the DA that prosecuted against him. Similarly, he lashes out against other East Coast rappers on Makaveli. He accus .....

A Touch Of Jazz

The time element was the easiest to reproduce on a drum had, changes of vibrato were effected by vibrating the knees while holding the drum tightly clasped to the armpit, changes of pitch were effected by changes of pressure on the drum skin.
Thus language and music were not strictly divided, and the average standard of musical talent was correspondingly high. Children learned to discern subtleties of rhythm, melody and tone color as parts of their language. It is this that divides the West African musical tradition from the European one. When we want to stress a .....

.... today
On November 27, 1942, Jimi Hendrix was born as John Allen Hendrix in Washington at Seattle General Hospital. His childhood was not a privileged one, however, he did indulge himself in one particular way: Jimi loved to play the guitar. At first he played an old acoustic, and later a cheap Silvertone electric, which were both strung for a lefty on a right-handed guitar, one of the defining Hendrix traits (McDermot 24). As a teenager, young Jimi listened to the music which affected his music so greatly later: “‘everyone from Buddy Holly to Muddy Waters and through Chuck Berry way back to Eddie Cochrane’”. He played in a few .....

If one should possess to get involved with music, they should choose one in which it is centered on realistic life events. This music represents a time when love is considered to be serious, captivating, and romantic.

Music And Censorship
.... to satisfy their hunger for themselves and for pure fun. The musicians tend to use drugs massively, to get out of the very real world that they consist so much a part of. Popularity seems pleasing but when one has the affections and total devotion of a mass of people, that person can not handle it because that person does not have Jesus' personality and only He could truly control that much fidelity. One person who truly could not handle the excitement was Jimi Hendrix(Appendix A). Instead of performing as himself and using his talent for good, he used rebellion and used many drugs. On stage, Jimi Hendrix would put hits of aci .....
