Topic: 2 or 3 Chord Songs

Hi there!


Been learning casually for a few months and would like afew two or three chord songs to learn, so I feel that I am progressing!


I'm not fussy what songs, but do like Indie music/singer songwriters such as Ryan Adams and Damien Rice or MOR Rock like U2!


Many thanks


James

Re: 2 or 3 Chord Songs

James,


I'm also an amateur player.  And, my suggestion would be to do some older stuff like Bob Dylan and Bob Seger.  Some of Dylan's songs use only three chords.  I like Bob Seger's Against the Wind.  This song can be played with three chords minimum. 


Good luck!

Kahuna
