3 Chord Thursday Spicing up songs with few chords

On Thursday 17th November 2022, we explore different ways to spice up few chord songs (that have two or three or four chords). Have you ever wondered why some people are able to spice up a three chord song? See you before 3 pm EST to start on time with a warm-up lesson and learn some tools to help you spice up such songs.

BONUS! We will be using a compilation of 55 three chord songs (from a bigger list of 99), mainly in the key of C. Click on any song title to go to the song sheet. Click on the bottom corners of any of the 55 song sheets to return to table of contents. Check out the list of songs. ** To get the URL to this 64-page PDF, please subscribe to 3 Chord Thursday.
