3 Chord Thursday Hooked on Classics

On Thursday 5th September 2024, let’s get hooked on classics. This can be a famous classical music piece (instrumental or sung) or something that sounds classical. We’ve hosted classical music in the past. Jog your memory by visiting our previous song session webpages. Stay after for our chord melody workshop and Ode to Joy!

Warm-Up Lesson

We always start promptly at 3 PM EDT with a warm-up lesson. From today onwards, the warm-up lesson will be separately recorded (and NOT livestreamed) for paid subscribers and currently enrolled students to review for practice.

A great example of harmonizing the major scale with diatonic chords is seen in the following extract from Ode to Joy. It’s only part of the major scale. Can you think of other chords that go with the melody?

What time do we meet?

  • 21:00 CEST (Venice, Italy)
  • 20:00 BST (UK)
  • 3:00 PM EDT (East Coast USA)
  • Noon PDT (West Coast USA)
  • 9:00 AM HST (Hawaii)

There are many three chord songs but 3 Chord Thursday is not limited to 3 chords!! We always start with a warm up at 3 pm EDT followed by two poses for a group photo with our sunglasses and ukuleles. Then we announce our line-up. If there’s no request beforehand, we take impromptu requests and line them up. We aim to end an hour later at 4 pm EST.

Don’t forget your sunglasses!
