Members Stackabones Posted October 11, 2010 Members Share Posted October 11, 2010 Here's the scenario. Four strangers get together (guitar, bass, drums, and one other instrument of your choosing, and assuming one or more sings) and have to put together a five song set-list using three chords or less. It's less than half an hour before you hit the stage. You get to use one guitar in this set. I'm going with two guitars, bass and drums and I'm singing and playing guitar. I think I'll use my Squire Telecaster Custom II w/P90s. 1. Mind Your Own Business2. Not Fade Away3. Blue Suede Shoes4. One Way Out5. Louie Louie Whacha got?

We may have to get a judge's ruling on combining songs. Cool set. EDIT: Doesn't Paranoid have 4 chords?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members knotty Posted October 12, 2010 Members Share Posted October 12, 2010 I am probably alone in this but I dont get this 3 chord thing. Can anybody point me at tab which actually sounds like the songs if you use 3 chords? I have tried a few 3 chord songbooks in the past and they sound pants. Could (probably) be me of course.
