Pop Music?

I recently ventured into new musical territory, playing top 40s pop music for a dance marathon at Emanuel college.  It was my first time playing with a full band (drums, bass, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, violin, keys, and male and female vocalist) and it was interesting how much my role as a musician shrunk compared to when I play in a duo or trio.  It was also interesting to note that what the genre lacks in terms of chord or melodic variation, it makes up for with how the music is arranged.

Here is a pretty sweet video that our bandleader created of one of the sets!
