Rock concerts you go in your baggy jeans, and you can yell when you want to, you can clap in the middle of a song when there has been something you've really liked, where as that seems to be frowned upon in classical music.
So many places have given it the reputation that it's a stuffy thing, and that you need to know all these rules about attending a concert, you have to dress up, and so on. I like all kinds of music, and right now am a big Coldplay fan, but I also really enjoy bands like Dreamtheatre, Big Wreck, as well as jazz music, new music, and just about everything on the board.Īnother reason why I think classical music is not as popular. I agree though, that rock music is generally fairly catchy, has singable lyrics, that really hit home to some people, or just something about the ease in listening to it that makes everyone like it. They play in huge stadiums, where classical music is very hard to perform.
As the why rock musicians make more money:. This is why I like to listen to some rock.Įspecially after a midterm exam on the workings of cellular and modal theory. I see them as wanting to relax to it, not wanting to be 'discerning' and analytical. They are people who simply want to enjoy their music. This does not mean that people who listen to rock music are stupid :). Rock music tends to lack the mental effort of comprehension. In classical there tend to be more people who say that something is good, even if you can't see why it is this prompts more soul-searching on your part. And this is what, to me, rock music doesn't need: all you have to do is listen to the music, and listen to the words if it moves you, you like it. Perhaps the real clue is, there are so many different kinds of 'classical' music, that exploring the genre will eventually involve an attempt to 'understand' some sort of music. What's with lieder? With English the predominant language in America, why should somebody listen to something that they don't understand? It's not that they don't identify with what's being sung about the strange words are not what they relate to. Play some Mozart, and they'll think it sounds sissy. I like Bruckner, but play it for somebody you meet casually, and the likely response will be, 'it's too long'. I mean, rock songs, the popular ones, and even some of the ones that aren't popular, tend to be simple, with singable lyrics, and words that mean something to a lot of people. I would like to hear what some of you think on this topic. Is the electric guitar easier to master than symphony instruments? Is it because of the strong beat in rock?

I guess the real art in rock, is the creativity of coming up with something that the public likes. I like both forms of music, but I have always wondered about this. They don't spend years taking lessons and seem to master their instruments.Ī guitarist in my favorite rock band, only took a couple of guitar lessons.yet now he is considered one of the best guitarists in rock and is a millionaire. #ROCK MUSICIANS WHO PLAY CLASSICAL GUI TAR HOW TO#
Most of them don't even know how to read music. However.I always wonder why the rock musicians are millionares. Is classical music a higher form of music than rock music? Classical music certainly is more complex.
