"Release" is one of Pearl Jam's more hypnotic tracks and closes out their breakthrough album Ten. The song's theme of loss addresses Vedder's paternal parentage as well as his bandmates' grief at the loss of Mother Love Bone frontman, Andrew Wood.
"Release" (Pearl Jam) G - C - DĪ cathartic number that began as a three-chord drone riff, the emotionally raw "Release" was one of the first songs Eddie Vedder wrote with Pearl Jam. "Ring of Fire" was entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. It opens with trumpets, a rare sound in country music, and is played using the G, C and D major chords. The song landed at #1 in 1963 and was a staple of country radio. This Cash classic, written by June Carter and songwriter Merle Kilgore, is one of Johnny's greatest hits. The beauty in "Love is a Rose" lies in its austerity.
Linda Ronstadt also had a hit with the song when she recorded it on her platinum-certified 1975 album, Prisoner in Disguise. It was later released in 1977 on his three-LP compilation Decade. "Love is a Rose" was originally written by Neil Young in 1974 for the unreleased album Homegrown. John Lennon once professed to liking "Spirit in the Sky," stating that he "always liked simple rock and nothing else." It doesn't get much simpler than this one. Released in 1969, "Sprit In The Sky" reached #3 on the Billboard charts and sold two million singles by 1970. "Spirit in the Sky" (Norman Greenbaum) A - D - EĬonsidered by many to be a one-hit wonder, Norman Greenbaum wrote one of the most recognizable guitar riffs in rock and roll history. "Wild Thing" is three chords of explosive groove. Originally a hit in 1966 for proto-punk rockers The Troggs, it has been played by just about everyone, including Jimi Hendrix. "Wild Thing" is one of the first songs every young rock band learns. Many players cut their teeth on this three-chord rock classic. The song alternates between the G and A chords and uses steel drums, which gives "Jane Says" its calypso flavor. The alt-rockers frequently end their concerts with it.
"Jane Says" is one of Jane's Addiction's most famous songs. Each chord is played for a bar of 4 beats, which repeats for the entire song. It is one of the best beginner songs around as it uses only two chords-E minor and an easy two-finger variation of D called D69/F#. "Horse With No Name" was a big hit by the band America in the '70s. "Horse with No Name" (America) Em - D69/F# Released in April 1969, it reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #1 on the UK Singles Chart. This Creedence Clearwater Revival classic should be included in every guitarist's repertoire. "Sweet Home Alabama" (Lynyrd Skynyrd) G - C - D The following is a list of songs that are not only easy to learn, but also popular enough to get others singing along with you. As Willie Nelson says, all you need for a good song is "three chords and the truth." Harry Nilsson, for one, prized simplicity in his songwriting so much that he used a single chord (an arpeggiated C7th) to brilliant effect in his 1972 hit, "Coconut." A great song doesn't have to be complexīuddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, Jimmy Buffet, Jimi Hendrix, Jack White, The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, Bruce Springsteen, Guns N' Roses, Cat Stevens, Alice in Chains, Nirvana and countless others have caught our ear with songs that are simple in structure but profound in impact. Many of the most famous songs in the world are made up of three chords or less, and many even share the same three chords. In reality, the opposite is true: You only need to know a few chords to play hundreds of songs. When learning to play guitar, it can be a little daunting to open a chord book only to see hundreds of chords you think you have to know in order to play a just a few songs.
