Guitar Listening for One Hour: Four Different Radio Stations

On September 24, I listened to four different radio stations for an hour (15 minutes a piece) in an attempt to hear the guitar use in the songs being played. The first station, 99.1 FM, is a Country station and I heard four songs. All of these songs used the guitar as their core instrument, and from what I could tell, they were all acoustic guitars. I only recognized one of these songs: Chicken Fried by The Zac Brown Band.

The second radio station, 103.9, is an Alternative Rock station and I heard two songs on here. I didn't recognize either of them, but they both used guitar. One of these songs used the electrical guitar and the other used an acoustic.

The third station, 94.5, is a Top 40 station, and I heard two songs. The first one was Punk Rock: All the Small Things by Blink-182 (probably my favorite Rock band). An electric guitar was used in this song, and the second song I heard was a Pop song by the Black Eyed Peas called I Gotta Feeling from their new album E.N.D. This song has background sounds accompanying the electronic sounds. One of these background sounds seems to be a bass guitar.

The fourth radio station I listened to was 102.9, which plays a Hip-Hop/R&B music. From the three songs that I heard, none of them used a guitar, which did not surprise me considering that Hip-Hop music focuses mainly on electronic beats to produce songs.
