Question 4
By the 1950s, the Solid-Body Electric Guitar was being used in most mainstream Rock 'n Roll music, and in 1960s
Rock music as well (the Solid-Body Electric Guitar was developed in 1944, it is a guitar, which unlike the sound
box of a hollow-body guitar, it uses an electric pick-up system to directly relay the vibrations of the strings to an
amplifier).
The "________ ____" came into widespread use in popular music around 1960. It was a solid body, guitar-shaped
bass instrument, and it was tuned like a string bass.
Electric Bass.
Electronic Drum Machine.
Hammond B3 Organ.
Electric Violin.
EWI Trumpet.
Synthesized Accordion.
EWI Trombone.
Question 5
Pick incorrect definition and or statement regarding technology and 1960s Rock music:
Synthesizer: a family of electronic instruments in which sounds are produced electronically, either by
generating a waveform within the machine or by digitally recording acoustic sounds (e.g., the tones of a
piano). Most, but not all, synthesizers are operated by a keyboard.
Electric Bass: a solid body, guitar-shaped bass instrument. It is tuned like a string bass. The electric bass
came into widespread use in popular music around 1960.
Keyboard: a generic term for an instrument — piano, organ, synthesizer — played by depressing keys. It
also refers specifically to electronic keyboard instruments, especially synthesizers.
Technology in the 1960’s brought Increase in amplification, inventions (such as “Looping”: A note could be
sustained Indefinitely), and improvements to electronic instruments and Multi-Track recording
(Overdubbing). Bass and Guitar Became Solid Bodied. Bass Could play a more percussive role, with more
distinctive Line-Greater Melodic Rhythm Lines. Smaller Portable Organs (such as the Hammond B-3), and
portable keyboards (and Synthesizers-which enriched the palette of Sounds!).
Electric Piano: a keyboard instrument popular in the 1960s and '70s that combines electronic sound
generation with a piano-like action. The most popular model was the Fender Rhodes. With the application of
microchip technology, digital keyboards have largely replaced electric pianos.
Overdubbing: the process of recording an additional part onto an existing recording.
Multitrack Recording: the process of recording each part of a performance separately, then mixing them into
a complete performance. The Beatles, along with their producer George Martin, were among the first to take
full advantage of multi-track recording techniques.
1960's Technology brought Increase in amplification, inventions, and improvements to electronic instruments
and Multi-Track recording. But in reaction to the pervasive technological changes in music, most rock-era
rock artists reached back to the roots of early popular music by performing with acoustic instruments only
(acoustic guitars, upright string bass, forte-pianos, etc.), and belted their vocal lines.
Analog Synthesizer: a synthesizer in which musical variables are controlled by adjusting voltages. In many
cases the waveforms generated in this manner were similar (i.e., analogous) to the waveforms of acoustic
instruments; hence the designation analog synthesizer. Analog synthesizers were used until the early 1980s,
when they were gradually replaced.
Mixing: the process of integrating the many tracks from a multitrack recording into a finished recording.
Question 6
The Role of the Guitar in Rock 'n Roll Music: Rock 'n Roll moved the rhythm section to the foreground and the
electric guitar into the spotlight — (both from Electric Blues). The guitar was used in three ways:
Substitute for the piano and synthesizer
Perform complex highly – technical, and complex Bebop lines behind the lead singer
Substitute for the voice
Comping with swinging Jazz rhythms to reinforce the shuffle rhythm
Double the Horn lines for reinforcement
Respond to the voice w/difference melodic ideas (Call and Response)
As an attention grabber; such as playing with one's teeth, or burning the guitar
Pretend to be playing interesting call and response melodies
Accompany the voice
Accompany the leading drum parts and bass parts
Substitute for late arriving musicians
Respond to the the audience's interactions w/difference quoted melodies requested by audience members (Call
and Response)
Question 7
In 1960s rock music, the delivery of the voice was no longer Smooth (such as in Crooning) but more rugged and
shouted. In 1950’s-Only the Guitar was amplified, by the 1960’s - all the Instruments (Except the Drums) were
amplified. In addition, Tempos were Slower than in 1950’s rock ‘n Roll. Sound Imagination — aided by the
development of multi-track recording, they used a wide variety of instruments, sound and audio effects (Crowd
noises, backward tapes). However, the production of rock music changed. The Three Characteristic Changes in
Production:
1). Emphasis on group identity as opposed to the “star” system.
2). Broader geographic diffusion of the music industry: any city could become as major recording center.
3). New attitude toward pop-music message’s — Tin Pan Alley songs offered listeners an Escape from reality
— Rock songs often Intensified Reality.
All choices are correct.

Question 10
True or false? The Interdependency of the Rock Band can be described as follows: in a pop song before Rock —
Melody instruments and solo voices are featured while the rhythm section is subordinate. In a Rock song — the
meaning of the song is diffused throughout the group. Every part, vocal, guitar, bass and drums is essential to the
song, but no one part has sufficient musical interest to stand alone.
True
False
Question 11
The Beatles had great variety from song to song, which was their most distinguishing feature. Four important
reasons for their range of expression:
Sound Imagination — aided by the development of multi-track recording, they used a wide variety of
instruments, sound and audio effects (Crowd noises, backward tapes).
They were all part of the Jump Band tradition, which were bands that played Swing combined with Blues. In

fifties Rock ‘n’ Roll. In the late 1940s, a small band-rhythm section plus a few horns that played a Rhythmand-Blues style influenced by Big-Band Swing and Electric Blues.
Melodic Skill — they wrote melody-oriented songs (Strong Emphasis on melody; many of them memorable).
They were all seasoned Musical Comedy performers (Musical Comedy — a form of sung dramatic stage entertainment
characterized by a lighthearted, loosely organized plot, generally about a contemporary situation familiar to its audience). This experience
allowed all members to compose music that was based on both classical traditions, as well as popular music
traditions.
Knowledge of styles — they absorbed all styles they were exposed to (drew from English Music, Jazz
Classical, East Indian, Tin-Pan Alley popular Styles and others).
They were all prominent Jazz artists before they became known Rock artists.
All members helped lay the groundwork for the Jazz Big Band. They organized the band into sections and
allowed for improvised solos within the arrangements. They helped established call and response patterns
between the Jazz Big Band sections.
Responsiveness to Text: music followed the contour of the text closely.

styles of Colombia, South America. Vallenatos primarily are played and produced in Colombia's Caribbean
region. Vallenato literally means "born in the valley".
Gospel Music. Many Motown groups came from prominent Gospel music traditions. Consequently, call
and response permeated much of the R&B / Soul music of the 50's and 60s.
Latin Music tradition. Latin Music traditions originally grew out of interaction of African and European
musical traditions. The slave trade brought Western Africans to the Caribbean Islands and Brazil. Early Latin
Dances included the “Habanera” (1850s-Contradanza Habanera-Cuba), and Tango (1913-Argentina). The most influential
dance music came from two countries: Cuba and Brazil.

southwest. It grew in popularity after the introduction of the radio and phonograph. Nashville is the most

independent society, with no interaction between opposite sexes.
In keeping with the social themes that dominated the 1960s (Civil Rights, Feminist Movement, etc.), this song
could be said to be a supplication to women's rights. (Note: horns during song introduction. Call and
response between lead singer (Aretha Franklin) and female chorus, just like the Baptist Church. Again, note
topic and the 1960s women's right movement).
In reaction against the social themes that dominated the 1960s (Civil Rights, Feminist Movement, etc.), this
song portrays the submissive nature of a woman that does not partake with the sentiments of the Women's
rights movement.

movement reacted against the U.S. involvement with the Vietnam War, and other wars.

unpredictable patterns. Playing syncopated chords (on piano or guitar) to help the band swing.
