I love music there's no doubt about it. But I'm not very musical per se. I don't play any instruments and in college I took a history of rock and roll class and I was the only one to not fully understand the concept of 4/4 time or 3/4 etc...
But thanks to this board I finally figured out what a "bridge" was last year. That being said I'd like to learn more.
What exactly is a "riff"? Is it a particular guitar sequence or is it rather what is commonly known as a guitar solo.
Does "melody" refer to the overall rythmn of a song or can a song have more than one melody? Or is the rythmn altogether something else?
What's a chord, exactly?
Another question: Does someone necessarily have to be a musician to understand this terminology or can anyway more or less learn what they mean?
There's more of course, but I just can't think of any right now. It's a little embarassing to admit that I don't know any of these terms. But I hope to gain a better understanding of what people are talking about in here!
