Firstly Lieven
The beatles compliacted chords??? NA, not at all, they used a lot of G7 C, F.

Pink floyd created such great music with the use of the synths they used and loops. They were heavily into expirementing with synths and coloured lights.
I thin kin the 60's when people were out of it with LSD they loved the colours from the lights etc, Syd loved this a lot and sometimes sat and looked at the light show instead of actually performing ( yes, he was out his face)
But as for the music. Simple chords yes, but the arangments with the drums and keyboards added a lot more to "simple stuff" and also the synth loops gave it extra sounds that made it sound complicated.
But they did use a lot of weird complicated chords as well, In the song Breathe from dark side, that is not your basic chords. And there are more but I would have to look them up.

I read somewhere online that you can play any song with E A B7, I dont know if that is 100% correct or not, but it shows that even if every song cannot get played like that and only half the songs ever written could then it doesnt matter how simple the chords are, you can always get a great song.

I know a few songs that have 2 chords and they are excellent songs. The melody of the singing carries the song

Also, with Floyds early song. Syd was very influenced by blues, even though it does not sound like it. He would have naturally used simple chords for his songs as blues does.
But even on much later album "momentary lapse of reason, they use simple chords too in most songs I think. Or you could transpose them into easy chords.

good subject mate, never a bad subject when it involves pink floyd ,lol

Hi Kath

Nae wonder I was not here when you asked,lol, it was 5:50am when you asked.
I was not so fast asleep in bed watching the time tick to 6am, then i got up and got ready for work.

i am more of a 6pm - 11:30pm sort of computer guy

unless I am off work then it can be from 8am to 3am, depending on the day.

Ken

Possibly Doc,
I did not know that metallica tuned down though. I used to play " for whom the bells toll" on the bass.
I know guns and roses tune down a semitone as does Jimmy, but others I am not sure about.

Ken

EH,
see since this is an english speaking site, can we have all posts in english please?
thats if that is ok. this way everyone can understand

thanks

Ken

. Ok,
for anyone that has never heard John Prine or unlucky enough not to see him, if you hear his stuf and think yeah ok, country/folk same old same old, then you are wrong!!
John Prine was once described as the new bob dylan in the early 70's and now I reall can see why.
The guy is a genius!. Not only is he a great singer/player/guitarist, he also has this poetry dwindling in his music too. Not the type of poetry where you would see a poet stand up and just recite a poem, he keeps playing the guiotar and somehow makes his words fit in perfectly.
I have 2 dvd's of John Prine and thought they were great but when actually seeing him live, it is something esle.

He started of with Blow up yer tv ) spanish pipedream), then ..... the .... ye know, I cannot remember,lol Illeagal smile perhaps? , anyway, out of the 2 and half hours he played there was only two songs I did not know. And those two songs were good too.
Starting with a double bass, him on acoustic guitar and his sidekick electric guitar player it gradually went into him on electric guitar and an electric bass, even an electric mandolin for a few, the gradually back into acoustic again. superb!!
he played a few classics on his own with jus him and his guitar. I was in awe at his playing. it just sounds dso much better live, hearing what he can do wit h6 strings and his voice is something to be heard.
This guy had a stroke and went through some sort of ancer treatment and still at 62 or 63 he tours over in the UK, and not just one or two night but an actual tour, Credit!!!!
he done the tour last year as well, but since I only heard of him at the time he was doing it last year  Inever went to see him.
But if he comes back again next year I will be going and I recommend everyone to go see him of they get the chance.
If you do not like country or folk or country folk, it doesnt matter go along anyway, I guarantee you, you will walk away with a different attitude to this music.
3 guys on stage, no drums, and no drums needed. this was in my top 3 of concerts I habve been ot in my 23 years of going to concerts.
