Hard rock and heavy metal

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre

Hard rock and heavy metal · Hard rock came out of the blues rock of Cream, Jimi Hendrix and The Yardbirds. Led Zeppelin was formed in London in 1968, and Deep Purple and Black Sabbath laid the foundations for heavy metal. The guitar sounds distorted: what was a fault to a technician became a choice of sound for guitarists.

Listening

Listening tip. Play along with the riff of Smoke on the Water: fourths on G, B-flat and C, the first thing beginner guitarists learn.
