Hierarchy

Hierarchy is the order of importance. In a band, all instruments are important, but the lead singer comes first.

The lead singer is always known as the band leader. The lead singer is most important because the lead singer sings the lyrics of a song and leads the other band members.

The guitarist is important because it creates the melody of the song and makes it more interesting. A lot of songs also have guitar solos when the lead singer takes a break from singing.

The drummer also is important because they create the beat and rhythm to a song.

The bassist is important because they add the background beat to a song, and also plays alongside the guitarist.
