For Thursday 30th April 2020, I have selected 15 songs of 15 famous musicians for our weekly Three Chord Thursdays at Three song session in ZOOM. I am hoping that we become more efficient online to fit more songs. This is a free online and interactive song session open to everyone and anyone anywhere in the world.
There is no workshop after this one-hour song session. Newcomers are welcome to join my Wednesday morning strum workshop and Saturday morning boot camp which focus on strumming techniques.
The bolded song titles refer to those song sheets that can easily be transposed (with the click of a button on screen), thanks to Jim Carey who made his http://www.ozbcoz.com so widely accessible and functionally flexible.

- Da Doo Ron Ron – The Crystals
