@@andycrowley THE ZOMBIES! Beach Boys? Can we play Stevie Wonder on solo guitar? And of course Simon & Garfunkel. Not the OP but before I was allowed to choose my own music, this is what we listened to at home.
I am probably a record-breaking guitar procrastinator, nearing 4 decades of owning guitars that I don't know how to play. This has long been a source of shame and frustration. Now solidly in middle age, I'm committed to finally finding the time to start the journey I have thus far not made the time for. Your TH-cam page is quite the find, and I am very excited to finally get off my duff and start, with your help. Thanks!
Thank you very much for these TOP 10 Famous song with only 4 chords...!!!!! And your decisions to add honourable mentions in the end is wonderful. Kindly make more such tutorials of TOP 10 FAMOUS rock songs ( easy and simple ones 🤪 ). 😊👍🏻
Perfect video for me...😊 I was SEARCHING for this types of video i.e, TOP 10 90s famous guitar songs. ( But easy and simple chords one only 😁😅 ). And Guess what... i found ALL 90s,.80s, 70s, 60s etc. 😱 😲 THANK YOU Bro ....!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My friend you still make me smile to this day :() Been a follower for three years my guitarist has come on loads I love barre cords ❤️ love the long hair and keep cracking out those vids, going back to basic 4-cords is awesome.! 🙏 god bless ya 😀
Fantastic selection, great songs, and excellent for early guitarists. Learned to play most of these when I was first starting out. Teen Spirit, Zombie and Good Riddance are still go-tos for me - watching you break them down brought back a lot of memories. You've probably got a bunch of new players on the road with this video!
Watching Andy Guitard dive into the magic of these 4 chords reminds me of that timeless wisdom that’s so often found in simplicity. Love the way you communicate music, and inspire people brother, brilliant.
This is the video that I was waiting for! I'm biased because I'm a fan girl, but my favourite songs from the 90s are If Life is So Short, and Misery, both by The Moffatts. I've mastered If Life pretty well, but I still struggle with the iconic picking from the intro, and there's a dearth of tutorials online for that.
Hey Andy, I've been a fan forever. Thanks for all you do. One question: I just noticed your A string is located closer to the E than the D in this video. Is this intentional?
This sound has a peculiarity. Maybe violins, maybe keyboards. But whenever I play it on the guitar, it sounds like Blind Melon - No Rain. But everything is fine. hahaha Say helo from Brazil man. Tks! good job!
@@andycrowley Alright friend, thanks for responding. Congratulations on your talent and musicality. While you played, my adolescence crossed my mind. Thanks
I can see you're playing the A string in your D/F# chord. Since there is an A note in the chord anyway, it's no big deal but I'd play the F# on the low E with my index finger.
Awsum vids. Easier for this beginner to follow. Would love to see Shame on the moon( Bob Segar). And Talk to me by ( Fleetwood Mac) if there is an easy version. Lol. Anyhow keep the vids coming. Learning alittle faster because of your videos.
Blur This is a low & Echobelly Dark Therapy both have that Bm A E vibe tho not strictly just 4 chords but still...Oh and so does Angels Robbie Williams.
Well, I hate to be Mr. Nitpicky nitpicker guy, but I'm gonna because there's some inaccuracy here that could cause confusion. 1) The song is clearly using F as the tonal center so it would be either an F-major or F-minor key - and in this case it's clearly an F-minor (which would put you in the the reference key of Ab). Therefore your chords would not be sharp (and you wouldn't generally mix sharps and flats anyway.) So your first two chords are correctly called F5 and Bb5, but the next two would be Ab and Db, rather than G# and C#. So the chord progression is F - Bb - Ab - Db. 2) There's a fifth chord in the bridge, when it it goes from an F5 to a Gb5 (and then to the Bb5 and the Ab5.) So technically it's a 5-chord song. I feel like a shitty person pointing this out because it's nauseatingly nitpicky but, I've gone this far so why stop now? But, that being said, this is a GREAT video dude, thanks so much for putting the time into it. I hope my critique doesn't come across as a criticism, as I'm just trying to be helpful. This is excellent content!!
In "Wildwood" the Em/A would really be more accurately be called Em(add11)/A as the A is the 11 extension. (Being the low note, however, some folks call it an add4 but I don't really ascribe to that line of thinking.) I would imagine you're well aware of this and I personally would've left it out of the video to avoid confusion. But in case any curious music nerds are watching and reading... there ya have it.
only 4 chords but still difficult to understand for a beginner like me.. I've no idea how to strum either but good video. This is kind of like somebody reading out a short chinese sentence from a native speaker
The entirety of Taking Back Sunday songs for me.... Cute with the E (Cut From The Team) C# A E B F# C# A# B for Makedamnsure A E F# D for My Blue Heaven. Also A Day To Remember's (If It Means A Lot To You) Em/Gx2 G F#/G for verse C/G (or C add9) F#/G Em/G G C/G F#/G Em/G for pre chorus G F#/G Em/G C/G for chorus C/G G F#/G Em/G for bridge Edit: Added Name of A Day To Remember song
Ok 4 chords. It’s one thing to know the four chords, playing them well is something else. I struggle with playing these type s of chords clean and on time. Although I practice guitar about as much as I play golf, and suck at both, so how can i expect to get better? Beautiful stuff though. I think I could pull off ‘in the pines’…
From the 90s, I could only find Colombia and The Swamp Song that have 4 chords or fewer by Oasis. Loads of their songs have 5 chords or more, but very few use just 4. All these 10 were better than Swamp Song and Columbia imho (even though they're still quality)
You messed up on the greenday good riddance song. In the chorus... It goes Em D C G, Em G C D. THEN its the Em G Em G Em D G. You just played Em D C G twice for the chorus (or would it be the pre-chorus)
@@elspoocho4637 u didnt understand U thought: Same 4 chords for every single song Only need to know those 4 Was about 4 If there are power chord versions its still 4 chords So what if there is one extra chord Most of the song is 4 chords. And its not hard. That’s all that matters. Dont drive urself nuts being analytical
I'm glad "Save Tonight" made the list, because as soon as I saw the video title, it's the first tune that came to mind.
Omg Andy this will keep me immersed for a very long time. Do the same for the 60's as well as the 70's please❤
Sure thing! What songs or artists would you like to see featured?

Great vid some classics there 👍
This is going to keep me busy for ages. Very inspirational. Thanks a lot !
❤❤❤thank you! Lovely 😍
Slightly off topic any chance of Michelle Brunt ….. Everywhere? Quite a nice 90s song

Thaaaank you. Those are great songs
Ohhh thanks
Thank you
Could you do a tutorial on Amos Lee “Windows Rolled Down” please?
What about Run-around by Blues Traveler?
Just love this video. So difficult just to choose ten...
My man...that guitar sounds amazing !!
Great video! Great songs. Really helpful and useful! You are a good teacher! Thanks! :)
I really like your voice, presence, song choices and am excited to play a few myself
cool, thanks andy
Fantastic
Great list and video!! Totally thought you’d have at least one Oasis song!?!? 😂
When I play Play It All Night Long by Warren Zevon, half the time I slip into Save Tonight.
Ocean colour scene 😊
Another great video 👏🏻🎸 can’t beat some classic 90s music!
Hey Andy, I've been a fan forever. Thanks for all you do. One question: I just noticed your A string is located closer to the E than the D in this video. Is this intentional?
Ed O'Brien shows Creep as the G (barre) chord sliding up the neck.
What about the post chorus in Teen Spirit?
And the 2 note riff is not played on the high E string.. it’s on the B and G string at 5th fret…
Exactly. This vid is BS.
This sound has a peculiarity.
Maybe violins, maybe keyboards.
But whenever I play it on the guitar, it sounds like Blind Melon - No Rain.
But everything is fine. hahaha
Say helo from Brazil man. Tks! good job!
Oi Brazil, tudo bom? 🇧🇷
@@andycrowley Alright friend, thanks for responding. Congratulations on your talent and musicality.
While you played, my adolescence crossed my mind. Thanks
On Bitter Sweet Symphony I think it sounds better if you go E, Asus2, Dsus4 and D.
I can see you're playing the A string in your D/F# chord. Since there is an A note in the chord anyway, it's no big deal but I'd play the F# on the low E with my index finger.
More 90s songs please!
How about 'Every Morning' by Sugar Ray?
Ah, the music of my youth :D
Teen spirit has a change that everyone skips over.
Is there an easy way to play any Nick Drake song. I love his music so much but can't even begin to play it.
What brand guitar is that?
Anyone know the strumming patter for bitter sweet symphony??? Is throwing me off.
Can you tell me how you made your Guitar Sound?
Awsum vids. Easier for this beginner to follow. Would love to see Shame on the moon( Bob Segar). And Talk to me by ( Fleetwood Mac) if there is an easy version. Lol. Anyhow keep the vids coming. Learning alittle faster because of your videos.

Hands dow the best to explain guitar on TH-cam I’m still struggling to keep time do you have a video for that please
four chords made a millions....said magic Steven Wilson....
Four chords, but the picking, strumming and timing are the secret sauce.
Dude are you from the north east of England?
only 4 chords but still difficult to understand for a beginner like me.. I've no idea how to strum either but good video. This is kind of like somebody reading out a short chinese sentence from a native speaker
U can make millions from 2 simple chords imagine that 😮
The entirety of Taking Back Sunday songs for me....
Cute with the E (Cut From The Team)
C# A E B
F# C# A# B for Makedamnsure
A E F# D for My Blue Heaven.
Also A Day To Remember's (If It Means A Lot To You)

C/G (or C add9) F#/G Em/G G
C/G F#/G Em/G for pre chorus
G F#/G Em/G C/G for chorus

Hello from France
Where's Wonderwall? 😊
Makes a video of song from the 90s, proceeds using a Leadbelly song from the beginning of the 20th century ;-)
No AIC - Nutshell ?
Daryl Hall & John Oates - Say it Isn't So
Nutshell by Alice In Chains is another good song that only uses four chords.
I thought the number 10 (while showing the chords) was Counting Crows - Mr. Jones 😂
It's close! Sadly Mr Jones is 5 chords 😄
Good Riddance
is actually
Five Chords…
No oasis?? how can it be??
From the 90s, I could only find Colombia and The Swamp Song that have 4 chords or fewer by Oasis. Loads of their songs have 5 chords or more, but very few use just 4. All these 10 were better than Swamp Song and Columbia imho (even though they're still quality)
You messed up on the greenday good riddance song. In the chorus... It goes Em D C G, Em G C D. THEN its the Em G Em G Em D G.
You just played Em D C G twice for the chorus (or would it be the pre-chorus)
Smells Like Teen Spirit has more than 4 chords
Correct and as he said at the beginning of the video this so his are modified for 4 chords only.
Did you actually listen to what Andy said
To be fair, if you learn the 7 major chords, and the 7 minor chords, you can play any song ever wrote.
Blind melon. No rain. Also a very easy one.
Man where’s Wonder Wall when you need it???
👊
New strings???
More homework thanks Andy 😂
so i skipped though this video and i see many more than 4 chords, but hey that's me..
4 chords per song 🐘
@@yjersey that is not the title
also there is nothing special about only 4 chords in a song, there a plenty of mega hits with 3 chords
@@elspoocho4637 u didnt understand
U thought:
Same 4 chords for every single song
Only need to know those 4
Was about 4
If there are power chord versions its still 4 chords
So what if there is one extra chord
Most of the song is 4 chords.
And its not hard.
That’s all that matters.

Was very nice of him to do this.
