Perhaps it should be entitled "3 or 4 chords, ahhh what the heck, whatever ya like, we love them all!"

Too long maybe ;)

Jim-

I've always liked that VM song, too. Thanks for posting it! I think I'll have a go at it, too!

Shel,

Nice to see another video from you Jim. Good job!! I forgot about that song. Hey is that a new guitar you have there? I don't recall seeing you with that one before.

Mark - yes, I got a 2nd guitar - Taylor GS mini - last summer.

Michele - thanks for setting this thread up and encouraging us all to share some easy songs. This one had 3 chords in the verse and two more in the chorus/bridge so I thought it would fit

In keeping with the spirit of the other contributions, instead of getting out my video camera and microphone stand and mixer and processing and editing the video, I just recorded it simply with the camera on my HP touchpad and uploaded it.

Thanks daryl & suzi also for the comments

and it stoned me by Van Morrison

5 chords actually G,C,D,Am,Em

I always liked this song, although the song that followed it on the album was a bit more popular...



PLEASE NOTE: If video was recently uploaded it will not work yet. YouTube will need a little more time to get the video ready. Please check back again soon.


Nothing wrong with a popular song Jim... nice that you add to this thread

BTW,,I heard Van doing this song with Mister Dylan on YT...

Tom - thanks. Hey we've been seeing some great editing work from you pulling together other people's performances, how about working on a three chord song of your own?
Hi Michele, glad you liked the videos. I would love to be able to participate on this thread, I am ltching to do so, but since my bicep ligament rupture and subsequent operation seven weeks ago, I have hardly been able to lift my guitar never mind play it. I am about half way through my recovery, I have tried to play over the last few weeks, but I get to the point where the pain stops me. I am hoping within the next two months that I am back fully fit and I will be up for putting in a video. :cheer: Until then I will sit frustrated on the sidelines :(

This is a great thread by the way. :)

Hey Tom. I hope the arm is starting to feel better. Not being able to play must REALLY suck on top of what you're already going through. This thread isn't going away, so it will be here when you're ready to add something. I hope you have a speedie recovery. Luckily there's good material to keep you entertained here.

Shel
Hi shell, yes it sucks, it is the longest I haven't played guitar for in a very long time. I hope to be back in a few weeks as I am improving week on week, ie less pain more movement. Wishful thinking maybe, but fingers crossed. :) Yes this thread is a whole lot of fun! :cheer:
