Well... what is a "usual"marinade? A marinade can be made from anything, depending what meat you're using and what flavours you like. The aim is to infuse the meat with flavour prior to cooking, but sometimes a benefit is that the meat will be more juicy.

I find it's good to use something acidic for the base liquid - either malt or cider vinegar, lemon or lime juice, or wine. This seems to work the flavours into the meat better. Then just add whatever herbs and spices you're into! Try not to add too many, you'll overcomplicate it. If you're not a pro at mixing herbs and spices, it's best to start off with ready-made mixes, such as jerk, harissa, cajun, garam massala spices, or Italian or british herb mixes.

If, for example, you're doing chicken for the bbq, you might like to use a composition of something similar to the following:

- cider vinegar

- tomato ketchup

- chili sauce

- salt, pepper

- jerk seasoning

Have a look around on the internet. There are some good marinades out there, but as with all recipes, they are best used for IDEAS, not made exactly.
