Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd
The Joker – The Steve Miller Band
(Lovin’ is) What I Got – Sublime

Brown-Eyed Girl – Van Morrison
Can’t You See – Marshall Tucker Band
Time of Your Life – Green Day
Semi-Charmed Life – Third Eye Blind
Johnny B. Goode – Chuck Berry
and probably some bullshit Nickelback songs too, but if you're reading this blog, then you probably hate them as much as I do (see previous post)
These are just the tip of the iceberg. If you add the E minor and F chords, the list actually approaches infinity. I remember from my days as a physics major being told that there is not actually a googol (the number, not the website that misspells the representation of 1 followed by a hundred zeroes) of anything in the universe. I beg to differ. There are actually 2 googol songs that can be played using only the C, D, G, Em, and F chords, including every song by Pearl Jam, Metallica, Bob Dylan, and Lynyrd Skynyrd (even Freebird).
I was about to start explaining how to play the guitar, but I think that would be boring to anyone who happened to just be browsing through and not thinking about playing themselves. So my last bit of advice on the subject is to practice those chords until you can play them in your sleep (seriously), and you'll be well on your way to being a total badass like me.
This song is also in the key of G.
Sweet Home Alabama and Brown Eyed Girl. Love those songs so granted everyone would want to know how to play them.
ReplyDeleteNot because I love them, but because they're awesome.
Lucky you that you can play. I bet you're asked to always go to bonfire parties, eh?
Man o man it's been too long. Your skillz are amazing as ever.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I genuinely have no idea when I created this name or what it is referencing.
