(a)    Electric guitars (lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar)
        Keyboards (piano, electric piano, synthesizers), voice
        Percussion (drum-set, tom-tom, e.t.c.

(b)    It is drawn largely from Black, folk, country and Western music

  • Shouts
  • Crying
  • Wailing
  • Groaning
  • Guttural sounds
  • Falsetto
  • Nonsense syllables
  • Repeated chants, e.g. Yeah! Yeah!
(c)    Bob Seeger, Carole King, Rolling stones, Jimi Hendrix
         Chuk Berry, Louis Jordan, Glauryn Hill, James Tailor.
