Re: 100 songs, that only use 3 chords, C D E, big request, if possible (4 replies, posted in Song requests)
NELA wrote:
If you are looking for 100 songs that use ONLY the chords C - D - E you are outta luck. These chords C - D - E do not fit into a useful chord progression. If you are asking for songs that use the Key of C, Key of D and the Key of E then you are asking a completely different question.
In the Key of C your 3 chord progression would be C - F - G.
In the Key of D your 3 chord progression would be D - G - A.
In the key of G your 3 chord progression would be G - C - D.
Depending upon your voice ANY song can be transposed into a KEY you can sing in.
Rethink your question and ask it correctly.
Nela
OK, i gotta ask this, If the key of the song is based on the first chord played, as I understand it, and you say a D progression is as ^ then what key is D Am7 Em? I always asumed it was a D progression and so have been trying some leed in the D major pentatonic. Is this still right?

Hiya chordie, been a minute. Just a simple question from a simple man, where do you find the inspiration to keep playing?
I have asked myself this 1000's of times in the last 20 years due to frusteration, lasck of compatable playing partners, or what ever, My first answer is:
I JUST HAVE TO PLAY NO MATTER IF PPL THINK I SUCK OR NOT. I DONT CARE WHAT THEY THINK, I PLAY FOR ME AND HOPE OTHERS LIKE IT TOO. (But it is nice when ppl do like what you do 
)
It is probably why I have never been in but 2 garage bands. I like to play covers, but I really like to write and create. I would rather write originals by myself and anyone who wants to share in the joy of creating.
If we have to have a simple answer: Its in my soul.
It always makes me smile. heavy or soft.

Well, now you've got another new one in there!
Sure, you can send me a pic and I'll see if I can get it to take if you'd like.
Yes, I bought my husband and my son each an electric from Rondo. Great value, great service, and both gutars are still going strong a few years in. The only issue so far was with my son's one of the dohickies that holds the strings in place came off. He bought a package of new ones for a few bucks and replaced it and all is well.
Yep I figured out what my problem was,,, I was forgetting to hit the little button at the bottom of the page 
I was asking about Rondo cause I saw a guitar that probably is the one Kramer used for the striker that I used to have. It is only 200 bucks W/ the Floyd Rose (licenced copy but im good with that) I just take for granted that any on-line guitar will require set up and tweaking, an new strings.
Was mainly wondering about the quality of product after a few years. So thanks for that answer (ok I need a cheat sheet for the smily faces. are there any more than these two?)

A friend of mine recently lent me a effects pedal he wanted to sell. I thought I'd give it a try and maybe buy it from him. It was a Digitech with all the bells and whistles. I read thru the owners manual before I ever plugged it in. I thought reading the manual would give me a heads up on how it works. I got the tuner and the effects that he last used and could not change to any other effect. I reread the manual. Still I couldn't figure out how to operate the pedal. I called him and told him after a couple of hours this wasn't for me. He told me he had problems trying to remember how to get it all working and had bought a different one that was easier to operate.
I think it's great that those that are savvy can operate this stuff and enjoy it. But I'm like Ed and am starting to feel I belong in the Stone Age. Joe
just for your info,,, the higher end digitechs, (well even my rp250) pulg into a computer and you can reach all the effects that way. I have a very old lap top deadicated as a guitar effect so I can easily change the stuff and store/save /. program the effects. doing it manually with the nobs is teidious. My kids have rp 70 and bp80,,, still have not had to get the book out as they like what is storred in them.

Only one question... since the pic HAS to be so small, I can't for the life of me make out what's IN the pic????
Well it was a pic I made to go along with my quote. its a bunch of stomp boxes. But im looking at it and its still teh distorted picture of me! That other one I used MS Photo editor and resized it to the specified pixels and it got very small.
Can I send you a pic and see if you can get teh change to take? OH and didnt you say you have bought some Rondo guitars?
