What's the difference between country music, western music, and country western music?

I don't believe there is any difference to them at all.  I think it's whatever the fan feels comfortable calling it.  My Aunt calls it Country Western....but, my mom and I will say Country and we are all talking about the same thing.

There is nothing wrong with country music, and if you don't like it then why do you want to find it?

Country's alright. Personally I prefer alternative rock, but a lot of my friends and family listen to country. I just think country's too limited. You can only go so far with the country sound. Eventually, every song's about one of a few things. It's like the saying, y'know, once you've heard one country song, you've heard 'em all.

Korn from Bakersfield? Influenced by Buck Owens, I don't think so.  Different musical universes. Does that clear up the semantic confusion. \n\nBut Buck Owens was wonderful with the "corney" fun country music.  Country music lost another great one.  Buck is jamming with Johnny Cash as I write.....\n\nThanks Buck for all the great music and the Bakersfield Sound!

Yes, I'd like to know that. But if you like country music, I suggest one called Country Music 2. 1 is ok, too.

Really that depends on your preferance. It would take a long, long, very long time to describe each genre specifically, one reason being sub-genres which seperate it even further. \n\nRock = Heavy Bass Beat that you can follow\n\nRap = Well, overall some awesome rythyms, okay lyrics, and lots of bad words.\n\nCountry = Usualy tells a story about something, sometimes really spiritual.\n\nyup, theres a few others but those are the big three

It looks like most of the instruments are different. \nI found a few websites:\nThe first one is a general overview and includes percussion, string and wind instruments.\nThe second is only percussion but includes photos, description and history (and alternate spellings, which is a huge help)\nand the third is all about Middle Eastern music in general, including a comparison to western music and audio clips

This is really interesting. 'Western' music, for the most part, is based on different principles to most 'Eastern' music. Western music is broadly chordal, with repetitive structures (from simple AABA through to rather more complex fugues), and generally involving repeated melody lines. The chordal aspect is why I always encourage musicians to learn at least some guitar, it being good training for the ear. The keyboard gives a good 'overview' of the whole lot, but strumming around on a guitar helps you to 'hear' chords. So, yes - buy a guitar - but if you just want to learn 'Western' music, *don't* go to a teacher. Get a chord book (or just look on the net), learn the 'root' chords (E, A, D, G, C etc.) and then have a go at playing along to songs.\n\nI'd also have a go at a 'melody' instrument - flute, clarinet or something - even just (my own favourite) a penny whistle. Something you can just play 'tunes' on.\n\nHaving said all that, I think you're lucky to get the chance to learn carnatic as well. All music is good music, and the more you learn (from *everywhere*), the better it gets. There's loads of good 'crossover' stuff you could be playing if you had both East and West in your fingers....\n\nGood luck with it.

classic rock is the best. Beatles, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin...i also like some psychedelic stuff. some Cream and Jefferson Airplane type stuff, you know?  some folk music like Bob Dylan. the only country i can tolerate is Johnny Cash.

The country music is troubled by the same social problems for decades: whiskey drinking guys, unfaithful wives, traffic on the interstate highways, and really funny song names.\n\nLately it is also troubled by the terrorists, however the country singers didn't even like New York and New Yorkers to begin with. I wonder why do they care.
