The Three-Chord Theory

Wake the sleeping musical lion in you.

 

"If a song has more than three chords, it's too fancy."  

                                                                   Woodie Guthrie  

 

Many songs can be played with only three chords.

 

People have made millions of dollars playing these three chords.

This is a good place to start. The Rockmaster System will teach

you this and much more.
