Musical Style #3 - Hard Rock

The trademark of hard rock style is

• hard hitting drums and cymbals
• distortion reinforced quaver-bass lines
  
• overdriven guitars
• a rushing, hard-hitting , straight 8-beat style

This type of style is suitable for songs with themes such as

• God's might and strength
• God's power
• God's wrath
  

In the video above, i turned Paul Baloche's folk rock song Rock of Ages into a hard rock by just adding distortion bass lines.

I am against Hard Rocks which are excessively-noisy and heavily -distorted that we cannot even hear the notes played.

Here is another song played Hard Rock Style . Note that :

• The quaver-bass line is clean not distorted
• The distortion guitar and drums are silent during one of the chorus , just to provide a contrast.
