chelseagirl077 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Okay, does anyone know the specific rules to composing rock music. I know that there is a backbeat or downbeat. Rock is on the 2 and 4 beat as oppose to classical and folk on 1 and 3. So for example, would the tonic go on the 2 beat? and if so what should go on 1? I'm really really confused about this. So if anyone has a clue. fill me in . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bitterduck Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 As far as am I aware, the best method to answering your question to to learn the music you want to copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoontar Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 hmm composing rock music, to be honest, unless you are trying to write really technical rock music with key and tempo changes, I would just bust out a guitar and jam some chords till you find something that you want to headbang to.

Thewritingwriter Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I wouldn't go too nuts on the rules, if you focus too hard on them you'll just end up writing something quite dull and uninspiring! i'd go with Bitterducks opinion, the more you hear the more you learn. or perhaps belt out some riffs and work from there! :( Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 rock music isn't composed, it's written, rock musicians hardly ever notate what they play or give a toss if it's 'correct' :happy: Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
