A complete band should include a guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, drummer and vocalist, so the basic instruments should be guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard.

Introduction

(1) The lead singer is the soul of the band, the guy who always likes to stand at the front and act cool during performances. The role of the lead singer in rock music is self-evident. After all, the human voice is the most expressive. Different voices are suitable for different types of music. Pop metal needs a sexy and magnetic voice, death metal needs a low and oppressive voice, black metal needs a high-pitched and miserable voice, and progressive metal needs some kind of bel canto singing...have a good lead singer , a band is half the battle; if the lead singer is also good at showing off, the band will soon become a superstar (the most obvious example is GUNS 'N ROSES).

(2) Keyboard orthodox heavy metal bands will look down upon this instrument, especially the electronic keyboard, which they feel is simply blasphemous to rock music. However, in fact, the earliest heavy metal bands, such as BLACK SABBATH and LED ZEPPELIN, all used keyboards in their songs, while DEEP PURPLE simply had a full-time keyboard player, and there were a lot of keyboard solos in their songs. Most of the time the keyboard appears in heavy metal music as a foil or background music. Only progressive metal and some modern black metal bands will employ full-time keyboard players and let the keyboard be the melody of the song. One of the main carriers. Good keyboard arrangement can bring richer effects to music, which sometimes cannot be achieved by pure guitar and drums.

(3) Drums are the main carrier of music rhythm, and a strong drummer is necessary for a heavy metal band. Drums are very expressive. With good arrangement, drums can greatly enrich the music itself in heavy metal music. Sometimes just the rhythm changes of the drums can achieve exciting effects. But the tragedy of drummers is that during performances, drummers usually sit at the end and don't get the limelight.

(4) Bass, the bass guitar, is an indispensable instrument in the electroacoustic band. The bass plays the role of stabilizing harmony. One of the main instruments in rock music, it is usually a four-string bass, sometimes with 5, 6 or even 8 strings. The pitch of the bass is usually one octave lower than that of the guitar. It mainly plays the role of strengthening the bass and matching the rhythm in music. Sometimes you will not notice the existence of the bass if you don’t listen carefully, but if it is missing, you will soon You will feel the sound is thin and weak. Thunderous bass sounds are less likely to use distortion even in heavy metal music because they are heavy enough on their own. The bass sometimes projects into the foreground of the music to showcase the charm of the bass and the bass player's technique.

(5) Guitar is the most important instrument in rock music. The electric guitar produces a harsh and noisy sound through the amplification and distortion of the effects, which is the main characteristic of heavy metal. The roaring distorted guitar can strongly stimulate your eardrums, fully mobilize your hormones, and let you enjoy huge pleasure and impact. The use of guitar in heavy metal is mainly reflected in the lead and rhythm parts. I personally think that the majestic rhythm guitar can better reflect the characteristics of heavy metal. There are many guitar techniques, but heavy metal guitar techniques are basically developed from early blues rock. Jimi Hendrix is ??one of the most influential guitarists. Frog sounds and feedback are both sound effects he invented. Later Eddie Van Halen also developed them. There are many heavy metal guitar playing methods (such as fast guitar string tapping); the electric guitar emits different sound effects by connecting different effects (or synthesizers), and can be used in different places to render various atmospheres. It is a very An expressive instrument.
