How to play folk rock on guitar and drums?
February 212010
I understand the sound but not how to produce it. The only guitar technique I know that MIGHT be used in folk rock a LITTLE is bluegrass strumming. I can write the lyrics correctly and I can sing in a folk rock voice, but for the composing the instruments part, are there any techniques I don’t know of, are there any chords, notes, or scales commonly used in folk rock?
I think the trick to folk rock is it’s simplicity.
Keep your strumming and your chord progressions simple, and let the words be in the spotlight.
Use G, C, D, Em, Am, F, or Dm in any order and you’ll be on the right track. Keep your attention on the melody and the lyrics, and use the music as a backdrop for what you want to say.
That’s it!
Peace,
Andrew
