"Hi, I'm Scott Smith with Expert Village. We're going to talk about Rock n' Roll and it's origins. It started off with a combination of blues and rockabilly back in the 1950's. Some of the instruments that we listen to today in Rock n' Roll are going to be the piano, or the organ, or electronic keyboards like this synthesizer, but also guitars. With these keyboards and with other instruments such as drums, bass, guitar and keyboards you're able to create all the Rock n' Roll sounds that we know today. Guitar players play a lot of, and compose but they are the ones that are out in front, they are the ones that we all hear. Keyboard players though, are the ones that do a lot of the arranging, a lot of the composing. So between all this talent, we're able to create some of the most amazing sounds, and some of the best Rock n' Roll anybody has ever heard."
