3 Chord Thurs not so easy 2 or 3 chord songs

Join us on Thursday 21st October 2021 for songs that are not so easy to play or sing, despite having only 2 or 3 or 4 chords. The challenge could be any of the following:

  1. difficult chords to finger
  2. fast and frequent switching of chords
  3. switching chords on the off beat
  4. no apparent pattern to chords
  5. awkward switching between the chords
  6. tricky strum pattern (such as with syncopation)
  7. famous signature riff that’s hard to play
  8. difficult to sing and play at the same time
  9. unusual meter (5/4, 5/8, 7/8 time) or changes in meter
  10. fast tempo

Join our Facebook public group to see the latest and interact with others. Bring a friend.  See the themes for upcoming song sessions. See you in Zoom before 3 pm EDT (8 pm BST)!
