In rock what you don't play is often as important as what you do. So Rockschool shows the ways in which guitar, bass and drums work together, building up a musical vocabulary of chords, riffs, licks and fills used in the major rock styles-from blues and HM, right through to funk and reggae.
But in the first of eight programmes Deirdre Cartwright (guitar), Geoff Nieholls (drums) and Henry Thomas (bass) look at which equipment will give you the best sound to suit your style.
With comments from JOHN TAYLOR (;ARY MOORE , IAN PAICE and CARL PALMER
