The 3 Chord Challenge 2019

Allrighty-e-o,

I did a bit of jamming - got enough bits of chordy lego to go and build a song. Tryyying to start as little earlier on this one - I'm enjoying the simplicity of three chords ?

Not that I'm only playing 3, but the progressions basically work off three (or less) chords - maaayybee a passing note here or there - but it's all in aid of a a groove... ?

While scratching around the articles earlier, I found this one on the I-IV-V progression, might help spark a bit of something; https://community.guitartalk.co.za/d/26865-the-most-common-three-chord-progression-holds-the-key-to-many-genres

I've got the skeleton of mine down. Going with a standard 12 bar blues, nice and simple.

Yeti

Here's my offering. Just a simple blues in Emin.

Three Chords (D,A,G) and the Truth stretched a little.

Late as always, thankfully @Yeti's morning submission got me to get at this a few hours earlier than I would have, Maybe I was aiming at Gorillaz vs Goldfinger/Blink182 - who knows?

G#, C#, F with a occasional bend into G# from G. Minor -> Major change in the 2nd verse by going A#, D#, G. Inspired by the crappy pop I was jamming to on ChordU :facepalm,:

Thanks for the entries @Yeti & @studmissile - i'll get the voting thread up in the am ?
