| | Disco (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Disco music diverged from the self-composed and performed rock of the 1960s, seeing a return (though not universally) to the influence of producers who hired session musicians to produce hits for different artists whose role was purely to sing and market the songs. |
 | | Instruments commonly used by disco musicians included the rhythm guitar, bass, strings (violin, viola, cello), string synth (a type of organ), trumpet, saxophone, trombone, piano, and drums (sometimes using an auxiliary percussionist as well as somebody on a drum kit). |
 | | Disco also had a characteristic electric guitar sound, usually from the heavy use of the wah-wah pedal. |
