Three Chord Songs
There are plenty of three chord songs in the world. These are often very famous songs. Songs we sang in our youth or encountered on TV. In the previous lesson I have thought you about the three basic chords that turn the whole chord progression process in music. Click here to learn about these three chords if you haven't learned them yet. Before I give you the list I'd like to add one detail on the dominant chord. In the previous lesson we said that the dominant chord (fifth degree) is called so because of its tendency to bring us back to the tonic (first degree). After when we checked a few examples we realized that G major could lead sometimes to F too. So how can we be certain? Well that's what G7 is for. In order to increase the need of the dominant chord to go to the tonic an extra note has been added. The F note. So if we created the G chord by playing G,B and D now we add the F note and this is what we get.  The F note is called the seventh note. You can find it if you count one tone under the root note. We're gonna discuss this issue later in detail when we speak about the blues chords. However I'd like you to know that the seventh note (F) increases the attraction toward the Tonic. Here's a free piano chord chart of all twelve dominant seven chords. Bottom line, when a G chords is played before a C chord it's better play G7 to increase the tension. If not a G chord might be good enough. It depends on what you're singing basically. Listen to the sound and judge if your ear allows it or not. I gave as an example the C major scale but you can play those three chord songs on all the other keys. Here's a list of the I, IV and V degree of all 12 different keys. 1) C, F, G7 | 2) G, C, D7 Hey, don't hesitate to try and fail sometimes. Try and press the different chords until you make it. It might take sometime but you're going to improve your musical ear enormously until playing three chord songs becomes piece of cake.
And here it is. A free printable chart of the I-IV-V7 Chord progressions in all major scales. which will make it much easier for you to practice all these three chord songs.
