What is the hardest type of music to play?

Question

I have often heard how talented of a musician you have to be to play bluegrass or classical. I am sure it would depend on the piece of music but is that often true? Are any people in rock bands great musicians? Are any rock songs very tecnical? I would like some answers from musicians who have some musical knowledge.

squatch I really love Slayer but how hard is that to play?

Answer 1

Jazz. The compositions are often rhythmically and harmonically complex, and, even with simple base structures like the standard 12-bar blues, extensive improvisiation is a must.

Answer 2

I am a musician and i play various instruments in a concert ensemble...the hardest music i have to play is classical marches especially on a trumper....rock music is pretty easy, so is hip hop. The way i feel you are a great musician you can play any concert piece with no problem..i hope that helps...

Answer 3

i play a piano if that helps you but i think the hardest music to play is classical but i think rock is the easiest music to play! all those new 'punk-rock' bands probably don't even know the notes! my brother wanted to start electric guitar and the partitions had little drawings with the hand movements on them instead of notes - is that serious stuff?

Answer 4

listen to Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, and Dream Theater if you want technical. Also try Metallica, Slayer, and Cannibal Corpse

Answer 5

Id have to say normal rock since AC/DC > Nickelback, although I don't see how Nickelback is hard rock when AC/DC is normal rock. Would have voted for metal, but I'm not really a metalcore fan, and Megadeth alone doesn't really convince me.

Answer 6

Big Band, Swing, Old school Jazz are all difficult.

Answer 7

Good music is the hardest to play.

Answer 8

I would have to say Jazz. Just listening to it should tell you that it's hard to play. :-)
