Parent Genre: rock

Instrumental rock music is a genre that features electric guitar as the main instrument, often accompanied by drums and bass. The music is characterized by its emphasis on instrumental virtuosity and technical proficiency, with complex melodies and intricate solos. The genre has roots in blues and jazz, but has evolved to include elements of metal and progressive rock. The lack of vocals allows for a greater focus on the music itself, and allows the listener to fully appreciate the skill and creativity of the musicians.
