If you want to learn how to rock out and you’re looking to join a band, take a look at our list of 5 easiest instruments to play in a rock band.
The Rolling Stones, Nirvana, AC/DC (and way too many more to count) are just a few names I think of when I hear “rock band.” Rock music has stood the test of time in America. The greats are still just as great now as they were decades ago. I’ve always thought being in a rock band just looks so cool. Aside from the drugs and alcohol, it seems like something that would be a lot of fun, plus they usually have the most interesting and unique outfits. However, I don’t really know how to play any instruments (or sing for that matter) that could potentially land me in a band. I attempted to learn how to play the acoustic guitar at one point in my life and can strum a few chords and songs. I also played percussion instruments in my middle school’s band, but it obviously takes a lot more than my elementary-level skills to even think about joining a band. If you count the video game “Rock Band,” that’s the closest I’ll probably ever get in my life to being a “member of the band.”
