BLUES
Blues evolved from Southern Africa-American secular songs and is usually distinguished by a strong 4/4 rhythm, flatted thirds and sevenths .The most common form of Blues is the 12 bar Blues and lyrics in a three-line stanza in which the second line repeats the first: "The blues is an expression of anger against shame and humiliation" (B.B. King). 12 Bars Blues it is called this because
of the length of the music is twelve bars, and it also fits with the typical
Blues lyrics. Whatever tune is used, the harmonies stay more or less the
same. This means the tunes are always similar. It also means that they can
be improvised.
Types of Blues:
Delta blues
Chicago Blues
Texas Blues
Blues Rock
Famous blues singers:
Bill "Hoss" Allen
Ralph Bass
Chuck Berry
Blind Blake
Big Bill Broonzy
Ray Charles
James Cotton
Arthur Crudup

Prog-Rock
Progressive rock (often shortened to prog or prog rock) is a form of rock music that evolved in the late 1960s and early 1970s as part of a "mostly British attempt to elevate rock music to new levels of artistic credibility." The term "art rock" is often used interchangeably with "progressive rock", but while there are crossovers between the two genres, they are not identical.
Progressive rock bands pushed "rock's technical and compositional boundaries" by going beyond the standard rock or popular verse-chorus-based song structures. Additionally, the arrangements often incorporated elements drawn from classical, jazz, and world music. Instrumentals were common, while songs with lyrics were sometimes conceptual, abstract, or based in fantasy. Progressive rock bands sometimes used "concept albums that made unified statements, usually telling an epic story or tackling a grand overarching theme."
Progressive rock developed from late 1960s psychedelic rock, as part of a wide-ranging tendency in rock music of this era to draw inspiration from ever more diverse influences. The term was applied to the music of bands such as King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Soft Machine and Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Progressive rock came into most widespread use around the mid-1970s. While progressive rock reached the peak of its popularity in the 1970s and early 1980s, neo-progressive bands have continued playing for faithful audiences in the subsequent decades.
The Biggest Bands/Artists:

Genesis

Rush

Jordan Combe - Guitar
Amar Singh - Drums
We played two songs :
Vampire Weekend ''A-punk''
Vampire Weekend ''A-punk''
The Hives - Tick Tick Boom
The biggest problem in this kind of music was timing , because songs are quite fast as for a guitar or vocalist . But I think we played them well . About the learning - I learn them really fast and guys already knew them so there was no any big problems to play it together.
Classic Rock
Classic rock arose in late 50/early 60's out of the then-popular blues genre. It was mainly derived from British teenagers who attempted to emulate the blues movement in the U.S. but created a whole new style all their own. Classic rock is known for its warm, overdriven guitar sounds, unique drumming patterns, melodic vocals, and simple yet innovative chord progressions. 90% of classic rock is based off the I-IV-V chord progression, and yet it all sounds different-quite an accomplishment if you ask me. Some of the best music in the world falls in the classic rock genre. In the 70's, classic rock began to progress and sound more modernized, with bands such as Journey, later Pink Floyd, and Boston spearheading the movement. Classic rock is not to be confused with southern rock.

Classic Rock includes:
Cream, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, KISS, New York Dolls, Aerosmith, Queen, Sammy Hagar, Montrose and Ted Nugent
With band we decided to play this time song 'Beat It' by Michael Jackson but in Fall Out Boy version .

With band we decided to play this time song 'Beat It' by Michael Jackson but in Fall Out Boy version .
We had few problems with that song - the main riff of the song , but of course we figure out how to play it . Everyone from the band knew already that song so there was no any problems to play it together .
Second song was 'Separate Ways' by Journey.
Second song was 'Separate Ways' by Journey.
I know this song it's not in my kind but that was fun for me to play it . And what can I say about it more . The bass line in this song was not hard and easy to learn so from my side everything went smoothly.

Funk/Motown
Motown Records was founded in 1960 by Berry Gordy Jr. It was based in Detroit and took its name from the city's nickname: Motor City. The label rose to prominence through the 1960s, building a stable of artists whose collective sound became Motown music. The label remained independent until 1988 and produced records for the likes of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes and the Jackson 5.
The Motown Sound
Motown specialized in creating soul music with a mass market appeal and referred to this as "The Motown Sound." The sound is characterized by prominent beats and bass guitar lines, distinctive melodic structures and a call-and-response singing style heavily influenced by traditional gospel music. In addition, catchy choruses and simple production techniques made the sound accessible to audiences better acquainted with pop music.
For Improvisation we played two songs:
Martha & The Vandellas "Dancing in the Streets"
