Its amazing how some genius songwriters have come up with hundreds of songs by only using major minor progressions.
Simplicity sounds sweet...

There are so many songs you can play with those it isn't funny. I can take the majority of pop songs and play it in simple chords. Add A to that and some variations of all those and you merely need an ipod to remember how the song goes!

two good ones, howie day collide (capo 4 i think) and katy perry hot n cold (they love that at the campfire haha)
Something I've noticed recently - comes of picking up a guitar and playing along with the radio every time a song I know comes on! - a lot of Sam Cooke songs are in G, Em, C and D, although in various keys. Try "What A Wonderful World," Chain Gang," "Twistin' The Night Away" and "Cupid" for starters!
:D :D :D
