Today the 3 Chord Club takes a little trip to the Ozone with Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen!

At the 3 Chord Club we choose three songs from a specific artist, label or genre of music that we’ll learn by ear. All the songs will contain three chords or less! Since you know the song has only one to three chords, try to figure out the changes, or chord progression by ear. Here’s a hint, most of the time the chords will be the I-IV & V or V7 chords. In the Key of C, that’s C-F-G or G7. Remember, the sound examples may be in various keys. As an added bonus try, to figure out what key the original is played in.

Hot Rod Lincoln
(Hint: I-IV-V-I)

Don’t Let Go
(Hint: I-IV-I)

Mama Hated Diesels
(Hint: Chorus: 3 chords and the truth)
