			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are tons of top classic rock songs from these same artists that are almost always ignored when these lists are compiled. Fans of these artists are certainly familiar with these songs, but the uninitiated might overlook them. The next time you and your friends are creating your own top-song list, include these gems to flex your musical knowledge muscle:</p>
<p>Rolling Stones, &#8220;Start Me Up&#8221;: &#8220;Satisfaction&#8221; gets all the hype and has been named the number-one classic rock song by Rolling Stone magazine, but &#8220;Start Me Up&#8221; is a lot more fun and has had enjoyed longer staying power. Bursting onto the scene in 1981, this song quickly became a staple on classic rock radio, and the opening riff by Keith Richards is one of the most recognizable guitar parts in all of music.</p>
<p>Bob Dylan, &#8220;Just Like Tom Thumb&#8217;s Blues&#8221;: Appearing on &#8220;Highway 61 Revisited,&#8221; this classic Dylan tune is often overshadowed by the album&#8217;s standout lead track, &#8220;Like a Rolling Stone.&#8221; However, an argument could be made that this song is actually superior, and is a better example of Dylan&#8217;s fusion of folk and rock. When Dylan sneers, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have the strength to get up and take another shot, and my best friend, my doctor, won&#8217;t even say what it is I&#8217;ve got,&#8221; the weight of his exhaustion is nearly tangible.</p>
<p>Led Zeppelin, &#8220;Since I&#8217;ve Been Loving You&#8221;: The band&#8217;s &#8220;Whole Lotta Love&#8221; had defined the new heavy blues sound by the time &#8220;Stairway to Heaven&#8221; arrived. However, in between the release of those two songs, the band recorded &#8220;Since I&#8217;ve Been Loving You,&#8221; which could be the blusiest song of their catalog. The first half of the song is rooted in Robert Johnson, but by the time the song ends, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page add their own signature screeches and solos.</p>
<p>Of course, all music lists are subject to the opinions of those creating them. And while a few songs are&#8212;and should be&#8212;always included among the top classic rock songs of all time, there are so many excellent songs to choose from, it seems narrow to think that there isn&#8217;t room for more. Be sure to check out these songs from three of the top artists in rock music, and then branch out even further to discover even more tunes worthy of inclusion in anyone&#8217;s rankings. And remember to have fun first; arguing over lists has its place, but don&#8217;t forget to just enjoy the music as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Classic rock is a great style of music to play in a work environment. The variety of music within the category of classic rock means more people will find something they enjoy, and the lyrics and themes are &#8220;work safe,&#8221; which helps prevent people from being offended if they hear it at work.</p>
<p>One of the wonderful things about music is the variety it offers to people. Nearly everyone can find some type of music that speaks to them, and that they can sing with in the car. Music is a part of many people&#8217;s souls, and it&#8217;s something that no matter what their background or experiences, can evoke emotional responses. Music brings people together through shared experiences, but it still allows people to be individuals. And though many people have many different tastes in music, classic rock can speak to anyone, making it an ideal genre of music to play in a work environment.</p>
<p>Classic rock radio stations play a wide assortment of music that falls within the general category of &#8220;classic rock.&#8221; Those who prefer ballads will hear them played, those who prefer more upbeat songs will hear them played, too. This means there&#8217;s a much higher chance that everyone will like one or more songs that are played, putting employees in a better mood, and leading them to be more productive during the day.</p>
<p>Another advantage to using classic rock to play in the work place is that the songs lyrics are typically &#8220;work safe.&#8221; That is, the lyrics don&#8217;t contain words or themes that people might find offensive, which can become a source of frustration when dealing with music in the work place. This increases the chance that more people will enjoy the music. It may not be their favorite, but they&#8217;ll be more open to enjoying music they know won&#8217;t be offensive to them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many aspiring guitarists want to know how to play classic rock on their guitar. To make your classic rock guitar lesson an easy learning experience you should focus on power chords.</p>
<p>Power chords are usually played on the electric guitar, and are usually used in different styles of rock music. The main advantage you have when you include these chords in your classic rock guitar lesson is that they are a lot easier to play than conventional chords.</p>
<p>This is due to the fact that they all pretty much follow the same pattern across the fret board. It makes switching between chords faster and they can be incorporated into a song much easier.</p>
<p>To play power chords you are going to need multiple fingers. The main fingers you&#8217;re going to need is the index, ring, an pinky finger.</p>
<p>Your classic rock guitar lesson should focus on playing the simplest power chord, which is the &#8220;E5&#8243;. Your lessons should start off by paying this chord and to do so you will need to use your middle and ring finger.</p>
<p>Begin by placing your middle finger on the &#8220;A&#8221;string at the 2nd fret, and your ring finger on the &#8220;p&#8221; string at the 2nd fret. You will then play the chord by strumming just the E, A, and D strings. Try to keep the right fingers at the appropriate frets.</p>
<p>This is how you play the &#8220;E5&#8243; power chord. By using power chords you can begin learning how to play your classic rock songs faster and easier.</p>
