Guitars

I listened to four different genres of music during an hour period. The first station I listened to was country. I was able to listen to a few songs. All the songs I heard on the country station the guitar was the main instrument and most songs had more than one guitar. The guitar had its own solos in the songs and was played almost the entire song. The next station I listened to was hiphop/rap. The guitar was nearly absent in almost every song. The next station was jazz. No songs I listened to had a guitar present in the song. The last station I listened to was a rock station. The rock songs were more like the country songs when it came to the role the guitar played in the song. The guitar was usually the dominate instrument and had some solos. The guitar even out-shinned the lead singer. The guitar has different functions in different genres. Country and rock show off the wide range of sounds the guitars produce, whereas the jazz and rap genres do not include guitars. I am more of a fan of genres that include guitars.
