"Rock music is a genre of music that entered the mainstream in the 1960s. The sound of rock often revolves around the electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, and keyboard instruments. Guitar solos feature prominently in rock music; however, keyboard, and blues-style harmonica are also sometimes used as soloing instruments. In its purest form", it has three chords, a strong, insistent back beat, and a catchy melody.
A group of musicians specializing in rock music is called a rock band. Many rock groups consist of an electric guitarist, lead singer, bass guitarist, and a drummer. Rock bands from some genres, particularly those related to rock's foundations in rock and roll, include a saxophone. More rarely, groups also utilize bowed stringed instruments such as violins or cellos, and brass instruments such as trumpets or trombones."
A band which have used some of these instruments are The Calling in which their song “For You” consists of violins.
