Hey, I'm looking for a good song to use for a group guitar class. Here are the conditions:

1) Has three chords A, D, E.

2) Reasonably well-known pop/rock song

3) Strumming not too difficult

 

These three chords are I, IV, V so they could be applied to any # of common songs, but I was looking for a well-known song. I'm sure there are a ton, I just can't think of any. Thanks

Yes, as u said ther are tons:

 

La Bamba

Twist and shouts

Log tall Sally

 

Transported to A, almost every Rock&Roll song will fit. :lol:

Thanks for the suggestions. I know Wild Thing is in A, but usually that's played with bar chords or power chords, so I use that song later when we cover power chords.

 

I'll look into La Bamba and Long tall sally, I haven't heard those songs in ages. I thought Twist and Shout is in the key of D, but my memory might be off? I know I could take any I IV V song and transpose it, but I want something that uses those three "cowboy" chord shapes in the key of A, so we could play along with the recording. If its in another key, this isn't possible, and I'm not about to introduce the concept of transposition.
