Bill- that's fantastic! But what are the four chords? LOL!
Chords looked to be, E, B, Db (Dflat/c#m) then A.

Although not every song they sang uses those 4 chords.. example Eagle eye cherry - save tonight Am. F. C. G. Beatles let it be - C, G, Am, F.

The songs have just been sung to fit the key and use the same chord progression IMHO Sorry no tab lol

And how about this effort;
Chas- that is really cool! Plus he retuned his guitar how many times during the medley? That's impressive by itself! I'll bet there are many more NY songs that would fit in that group! :cheer:
The changing of the tuning on the go was what amazed me too. Plus he stuffed up but kept going

Really awesome!!!

They've found 36 songs and they've done a really funny video, buy I'm sure there should be a minimum of 100 more songs out there with this four chords. Yes, same chords as played in the classic Canon by Pachebel(spell?)

Talking of 4 chords, I'm trying to learn 'Seminole wind' by John Anderson. Using Em G D A... Anyone help with what kind of strumming pattern to use? Thanks.

Steamjam:

Try this.....

Down
Down/Up
Down/Up
Down/Up

and make your chord changes on time.... It's probably not totally correct, but I have played it that way and it sounds decent enough.
