Load up the Woody with the boards inside (and your uke)! It’s endless summertime and the 3 Chord Club is headed to the beach to learn three classic Beach Boys tunes by ear.
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.
Surfin’ USA

409
