Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question...
Q: I read in a music theory book that nearly any song can be broken down to using three chords played behind any melody built from the first, fourth and fifth chords found within the key. If this is true, can you explain this theory, and maybe even demonstrate it using a simple common melody to show how this might actually work?
Max -- Sweden
A: This is a very interesting concept and one which I was first introduced to by a teacher I had at a workshop where we were discussing the art of performing audience requests. You know, when someone comes up to the front of the stage and asks if the band knows a certain piece. And, that's when I first discovered that the chords of the three main chord families can be used to play pretty much any song requested to a band. That is -- so long as the singer knows the basic vocal melody and enough of the words to basically fake it. In the video I discuss why this works and I demonstrate the process with a well known piece.
