You know the old adage on how to write Blues (or Rock. Or Country... depends how you ask):

"Three chords and the truth"

That was fine and dandy for a while... and then we got inundated with 3chords and 4chords cheesy pop songs and now everybody is tired of the same old same old 3 chords.

Which is a pity.

Because honestly, I love wellmade 3chords harmonizations. And I think that all musicians should know how to do one.

(Harmonization: "put chords to a melody")

For two reasons:

1. They sound great, and

2. They are a great 'first harmonization' that you can do in seconds, and then you can always add more complex ideas if need be.

If you've never harmonized a melody before... this is exactly where you want to get started. Watch the video, try it with your guitar, start having more fun than you ever had with music :)
