Man... wish I lived in an age where these songs were still coming out😢 The feels of even just the chords playing...

[@LOLLYPOPPE]

Yeah, it’s like you can hear the base and drums kicking in over those chords

[@saidiyam6263]

Oof I found this person fighting about teen titans being an anime or not 👁👄👁

[@MrRamen-tr3yt]

True. I think some songs nowadays strive to be unique, hence making them sound bad (or different) sometimes. Music isn't all about uniqueness, it can also be simple like this:D

[@DummyAcount-rs5tj]

​@@saidiyam6263lol

[@WHITEowl7585]

I don’t know if it’s the same chords but in my mind I hear and Michael J Fox playing “Earth Angel” in Back To The Future.

[@ChiliDUDE27]

It is indeed the same chords

[@chatadaroach3036]

Same earth angel and a little bit of angel baby came to my mind

[@captainzyte4476]

Its in the key of f major though

[@user-pk2lu6qn6v]

For those about to do wop, we salute you

[@patgaff2536]

A fun and informative lesson. Well done. I hope there will be more from you.

[@jraths]

Earth Angel and Sleep Walk come to mind, but I could be wrong

[@tysono2012]

Donna, we belong together, last kiss come to mind

[@drslump9314]

To me playing Bm chord as a 2nd chord in the key of G sounds even more doo wop
I do not know why but is what it is

[@adamantdane3896]

Chordal tones thats why, it means you have a good ear..

[@joseph2832]

Helpful!

[@guitardedmaniac]

You could also use E-C#m-A-B or any progression of that sort

[@user-xu4ow3bu6f]

Yes I'm So Young by the students uses that particular progression

[@akmt123]

Zabardast, cheers from Canada....I Gotta Know, Gotta Know by Cliff Richard and Elvis....

It’s in the aeroplane of over the sea

[@BrandonMobley614]

"Make out point" by the Frights.

[@ebneigh5191]

“Skateboard Angel, do-wah-do-wap-do, so high in the sky…”

[@RandomGorillaGuy]

must i learn barre chords... seams easier than transposing with a capo... or dont i know what the hell im talking about?

[@fdpapi1880]

Anton Deckman barre chords are super easy and make it a lot easier! I’d recommend learning to read the fretboard so when you look down at your low E string you also see CDEFGAB and repeat. Not sure if i explained that well but thats why a barred F chord is played with your index finger Barring the first fret and then your other fingers doing to EM chord shape!

[@richardrichard5409]

Enola Gay, Every Breath You Take, I will always love you

[@santiagotorrescamacho7106]

Frank Zappa - Go Cry on Somebody Else Shoulder
