What Elvis did with it...

Rockabilly
(2 guitars, and the slap base I mentioned earlier, no drums yet)

1954 Elvis Presley - Blue Moon Of Kentucky
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJq3AZ4uXqE
What are some of the similarities and differences between Rockabilly and Rhythm and Blues? What cultural influences led to Rockabilly's starting point?

How did "Blues and rock and roll" affect race relations?

This is time stamped.

Elvis's relationship with drugs started with amphetamines while he was cranking out all those gawd awful movies after he got out of the Army. Colonel Tom Parker, his manager, treated him like a cash cow instead of an artist. At the time of his death, his doctor had written over $50,000 worth of prescriptions for him. Elvis bought him a house. At the end of his last concert he was so loaded he had to read the lyrics for 'My Way' off a cheat sheet.

He also had a predilection for sex with underage girls. So yeah, Medal of Freedom.

Does someone know how to count the beats in music? There is a repetition, we can count up. When we hear the section repeat, we can start over at 1.

You might benefit from some basic music theory. Music is generally written with time signatures, which is what you refer to as counting the beats. They look like fractions: 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, etc. Rock and roll often used a steady four count - like 4/4. But sometimes each beat had a triplet superimposed on it, so you could call it 6/8. You can hear an example of that in I Only Have Eyes for You. https://youtu.be/FvzNeh4Mq1o

The song is built on a slow four count, but the piano does a triplet on each of the four beats. So, you could count the beats as a slow 1-2-3-4. Or you could count based on the triplets: 1-2-3 or 1-2-3-4-5-6 or even 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12. All would be correct ways of counting the beats.

A song can have the same time signature throughout, or it can change multiple times. As you move from rock and roll to rock, you find bands doing all kinds of crazy things with time signatures. The guitar may be playing in one time signature while the drums are playing in a different one. Fun stuff.

?

The time signature tells you which type of note gets a full count and how many of them there are per measure.

Money is typically notated as 7/4 time (7 quarter notes to the measure), but changes to 4/4 off and on.

Thank you. It is fun stuff.
