Linda Ronstadt is the featured artist at today’s 3 Chord Club as we learn three of her classic folk-rock songs. And lucky us, they include two Bonus Chord songs!
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 while watching the YouTube video. 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 the key of the recording.
Love Is A Rose
(Hint: I-IV-I-V-I)
Blue Bayou
(Hint: Bonus Chord iv minor in the bridge)
When Will I Be Loved
(Hint: Bonus Chord vi minor in verse “happens”)
