Punk rock was created in the mid 70's

Punk rock started with a couple of bands such as Iggy and the stooges, MC5, The Sex pistols, Patty Smith and the Clash.

The band to your right is MC5.

The most commonly used instruments in punk are, the electric guitar, the bass guitar, the drums, and vocals.

Punk rock was created because kids wanted something different than pop culture such as hippie music. And they wanted something real and emotional to relate to.

Punk rock was created because kids wanted to make up their own type of music that was different from the music that their parents listened to.

For this project I used Wikipedia and some rock websites.

The bass player mainly plays the low notes.

The guitar player usually plays the mid range and high notes. But both the guitar and bass play whatever notes the songs are played in.

Punk rock is very easy to learn because it mainly uses 3 chord patterns making it easy for the guitar and bass player to learn

Most punk rock songs have a very high pitch but others have a low pitch others also start at a low pitch and get a higher pitch throughout the song such as Longview by Green Day.

The instruments also usually cover their own type of pitch. An example would be the drums and the bass tend to cover the low pitch and the guitar tends to cover the mid range and higher pitch.

There are no rules to punk rock you can play it however you want.
