In the 1950s, the instruments commonly used in rock and roll included the Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, drums, and piano. The electric guitar, often played with distortion and amplification, became a defining sound of the genre. The bass guitar provided the low-end foundation, while drums added rhythm and energy. Piano was also frequently used to add melody and harmony to rock and roll songs.
