Location: Copenhagen Denmark | In a way , this thread , (albeit 1 very good 1) reminds me of Brad`s post " Evil Metronome" , there we were about -precision- , just like here , wether the song was/is 3 or whatever chord(s) it is also about precision , ..so how about the " short cuts " , and.. , do I sense a "Fatherly" encouragement here , ( after all we`re entering a new year with prospects and opportunities ) , or a mere caring , " footprint on one`s backside " , like , get on with it , u lazy git , put that " fake-book " together :)

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Hmmm now this is interesting..
felonius funk listed a good song, one of my favorites by one of my favorites..
He said it's DCG over and over..
I'm unfortunately not good with theory so bear with me.. but isn't it really
D6 add9 to D
C#6/E to C
G alternating to G6 and back to G
Or something similar which is SIX chords. |

Location: Yorkshire, England | OK, What about Mr. Springsteen's `Born In The USA' (One Chord) Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart, (Two chords) and a big hit over here by the Mavericks - Dance The Night Away (Two chords)
One of the Electric Light Orchestra's early hits, Showdown, was also only three chords I believe. There must be quite a few early Rock 'n Rollers as well, Elvis's Mystery Train must qualify as a three chorder. |

Location: CA | A Guitar Player mag several years ago listed the "100 Greatest Guitar Players of All Time". Short bios on each, along with what axes they played and a significant quote. Billy Gibbons quote was a response to the question "To what do you owe the success of the ZZ Top sound." His answer: "Never add a fourth chord." |
