Title: Four Chords, Sixty Five Songs
Post by: The Riddler on May 21, 2010, 01:36:42 PM


Just wondering how this makes you feel, now that you realize how many songs are actually the same.
Also I know his singing sucks but he's making a point with the chords.

Discuss.
Also post more videos of # Chords - # Songs.

^Comedians take on the issue.

The fewer chords, the more songs are going to be the same. Simple mathematics. At the same time, the more cords you have, the fewer songs are likely to be just like them. It's exponential decay, with limits on Y>1, X>1.

While this is true, there are other combination of chords and other progressions. It's just crazy how many songs can come from four chords.

The one on the right is better

I've known this for a while now, and hey, if it works why not go with it?  Just use an original progression of the chords.
