June 2024 Guitar Newsletter : Simple Songs Built To Last!

In my musical journey, things tend to go in full circles.  At the moment, I find myself memorizing popular songs in bands that include in their repertoire covers, as well as originals.  Much earlier in my teens, I came across these classic songs, many of them consisting only of 3 chords.  This time I am relearning and performing them with greater maturity and respect.  Dissecting and memorizing them is definetely heightening my appreciation for songwriters who have mastered writing memorable singles using only a few chords.  Through this I have learned to shift my perspective, listen and play in a different manner.
