Listening to Rock Music May Improve Your Memory and Concentration

Listening to guitar based music such as Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC, or the Red Hot Chili Peppers could help improve your memory and concentration. According to Times Online, researchers at a Scottish University monitored the brain activity of 16 volunteers while they performed simple memory tests. When the volunteers where listening to rock and classical music, bran scans revealed that they required far less effort to complete their tests.

For us avid music lovers this should come as no surprise. Music can be used to battle depression, break the tension in a discomforting car ride, or in this case improve our brainpower.
