American roots music
American roots music American roots music is a broad category of music including country music, bluegrass, gospel, ragtime, jug bands, Appalachian folk, blues, Tejano and zydeco, and Native American music. The music is considered "American" because it is either native to the United States or here varied enough from its origins that it struck musicologists as something distinctly new; it is considered "roots music" because it served as the basis of music later developed in the United States, including rock and roll, rhythm and blues, and jazz. This article is the first in the Music of the United States series.

Béla Fleck
the band Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, which he has described as "a mixture of acoustic and electronic music with a lot of roots in folk and bluegrass as well as funk and jazz."

He received his first banjo at age fifteen, and within a few years began performing with travelling bands.[1],[2] Before the Flecktones, Fleck played with Newgrass Revival and several other bluegrass bands. After a 1998 phone call with bassist Victor Wooten, Fleck and Wooten formed Béla Fleck & the Flecktones, rounded out with harmonica player Howard Levy and Wooten's percussionist brother Roy "Future Man" Wooten, who plays synthesizer-based percussion.

Violinist
plays the violin. The terms fiddler or fiddle player are also used. In classical music the "fiddle" terms are usually somewhat informal or jokey: they are more standard expressions in folk music. In between there are nuances of meaning and usage which are difficult to formalize. Composer-violinists were common in the Baroque era - Antonio Vivaldi, Arcangelo Corelli and Pietro Locatelli all played the violin. In the early 19th century, Niccolo Paganini did much to expand the instrument's technique. Other notable 19th century violinists include Joseph Joachim (who was friends with Johannes Brahms), Leopold Auer (who taught many famous violinists of following generations), Pablo de Sarasate and Eugene Ysaye. Among significant later players are: Joshua Bell Willi Boskovsky Sarah Chang Stephanie Chase Vassar Clements (Bluegrass, Country, Jazz) Mischa Elman Carl Flesch
Tom Verlaine
the guitarist for Television, the first non-Country Blues or BlueGrass band to play at CBGB, which opened the venue for new wave acts such as Blondie, and Talking Heads and the entire NYC new wave and punk music scene. Guitarists Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd brought rock music to a new level with their guitar playing and lyrical content. The album, Marquee Moon (by Television) is often recommended for anybody who is interested in the serious study of guitar, as is the live album, 'The Blow Up'. Other important guitar innovators worthy of serious study: Robert Smith Eddie Van Halen Dave Navarro Daniel Ash
