R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by drummer Bill Berry, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist/backing vocalist Mike Mills, and lead vocalist Michael Stipe. One of the first alternative rock bands, R.E.M. was noted for Buck’s ringing, arpeggiated guitar style, Stipe’s distinctive vocal quality and obscure lyrics, Mills’s melodic basslines and backing vocals, and Berry’s tight, economical style of drumming.
R.E.M. released its first single—”Radio Free Europe”—in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone.
Thumb Position Check. For bar chords, place the thumb lower on the neck for leverage. For open chords, let it sit higher. Small thumb adjustments reduce hand strain and improve clarity immediately.
