Join us on Thursday 6th May 2021 to hear the performers pluck or strum the famous riffs that are instantly recognizable in these songs of Three Chord Thursday.
We always start promptly at 3 pm with a warm-up, followed by our sunglasses ritual, line-up, and up to ten songs performed by volunteers who request to perform beforehand. We record and edit our song sessions to review, learn, remember, and share with the community.
The Beatles are famous for their riffs. Without these recognizable riffs, somehow something is amiss. At this session, we will have a guessing game. Upon hearing a few riffs, can you guess the name of the song? In the illustration below, there are up to 80 songs of the Beatles. While it’s easy to spot “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer”, “Octopus’s Garden”, “Yellow Submarine”, “Here There and Everywhere” and “Penny Lane” can you see the others?
Visit our Facebook public group page post to join the discussion thread. Post one song title and anything interesting about the song you found from this picture, including a song sheet.
