Bardic Music and Concentration

[youspoonybard]

"Starting a bardic music effect is a standard action. Some bardic music abilities require concentration, which means the bard must take a standard action each round to maintain the ability. Even while using bardic music that doesn’t require concentration, a bard cannot cast spells, activate magic items by spell completion (such as scrolls), or activate magic items by magic word (such as wands). Just as for casting a spell with a verbal component, a deaf bard has a 20% chance to fail when attempting to use bardic music. If he fails, the attempt still counts against his daily limit."

What bardic music effects require concentration to maintain? I think the Song of Freedom (or whatever it's called) does, but the others?

Countersong? Didn't check the others.

Countersong, Fascinate, Inspire Competence, Song of Freedom. Countersong doesn't specifically reference the term concentration, but the fact that the bard makes Perform checks every round and can only keep it up for 10 rds makes me think that it requires concentration.

Suggestion and Mass Suggestion don't require concentration on their own, but occur while concentrating on Fascinate.
