These bands are given easy but challenging music to learn, often with many duplicate parts and simple rhythms...

Flamenco Guitar ... In contrast to the classical guitar, the flamenco is often equipped with a tap plate (a golpeador), commonly made of plastic, similar to a pick guard, whose function is to protect the body of the guitar from the rhythmic finger taps, or golpes.

Perhaps the best-known examples of this technique come from No Wave artists like Glenn Branca and Sonic Youth...
