Goals To predict and identify virtuosity in rock guitar solos.

Rock music is one of the largest genres of music, but there are individual artists who stand out as titans in the genre. Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and Jimi Hendrix are just a few examples of bands that truly convey masterfulness in the genre. The guitar is frequently given the spotlight of a rock band, when typically, vocalist is the one you remember. So, rock and roll has some core instruments: the electric guitar, bass, drums, and voice.

There are other features besides instrumentation that are core to rock, and rock guitar soloing.

but that does not mean that there do not exist boundaries of what qualifies as good rock and roll. Timing, tone, creativity, and cool can all completely make or break a song.
