How is rhythm used in rock music?
Rhythm is about emphasis and how the music feels more than anything else. The first, second, third, and fifth notes fall on the beat. You can remove either of the two "extra" x's and the beat will feel the same, just with less "detail". If you remove any of the notes on the beat, it will feel syncopated or incomplete.
