Punk rock is a type of rock music that first appeared in the United States in the 1970s and later migrated to the UK. The principle of music is the desire to play, placed above the performance skills. As a consequence, there is a huge variety of styles in this genre, from pop punk to hardcore.
Instructions
Step 1
It is always best to start learning by copying. Listen to the music of bands representing different styles of punk rock. Pay attention to the instrumentation and density of the musical fabric. Analyze the structure of songs, harmonic (chord) moves: as a rule, in such songs there are few or no echoes (especially keyboards), riffs and solos are distinguished by rhythmic and melodic simplicity. The number of chords in a song can vary from 3-4 to 8.
Step 2
Play three or four songs you like by downloading tablatures. Change the instrumentation according to your composition. Pay attention to the techniques used in the songs.
Step 3
Punk rock is based on a synthesis of music and theater. An important role in stage performances and performance in general is played not by the musician's skill, but by the emotional mood. Therefore, every time, from rehearsal to concert, perform songs with full dedication.
Step 4
Compose your own song based on techniques you've learned and played. Follow the ideas and themes of the genre, add your own thoughts. Follow the same principles of emotional intensity when singing your own songs.
