Rock guitar refers to the electric guitar playing styles and techniques used in rock music, encompassing power chords, riffs, distortion, and solos popularized by artists from Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix to Eddie Van Halen. It is a widely pursued hobby and profession, drawing players who enjoy both the physical technique of picking and fretting and the creative expression of writing riffs or improvising solos. Many guitarists learn through lessons, tablature, or by ear, often forming or joining bands to perform live.
