Thanks for watching guys! Find full song tutorials for ALL 10 songs in this video on this page here www.andyguitar.co.uk/songs/top-10-songs-of-the-70s-just-4-chords-1/ What video would you like to see next?
I came across this site recently. I`m 69 years old, and you have re-ignited an interest in classic rock tunes. Time to pull out my 67 Gibson SG and relive the enjoyment of yesteryear! Subscribed from Ontario Canada.
Just stumbled up this video and have to say that beyond the simple demonstration of progressions used in these classics, the most important element in every one of them is the ability to weave melody around these simple structures. Music does not have to be complicated to be great. In fact, it is often quite the opposite. I wish people these days spent more time on melody and far less time trying to impress their friends with shredding.
Paranoid by Black Sabbath was my main inspiration to start learning guitar. A guitarist played it at a school talent show and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Thanks Andy.
These bring back a lot of memories. One small point: the Paranoid intro is played with the low E string open. Toni did this often to get a fatter sound because there was no other guitar to fill that role.
I think your video is fantastic for beginners. It gives them confidence to keep at it.many people are so intimidated by the big picture.once you can play easy , clean chords,they realize you don't have to go up against blackmore, or clapton ,It sounds good and it's fun! Most rock groups don't use many chords,as this video demonstrates When you increase your confidence , you can learn the links played in the solos.Not everyone can be famous,or it wouldn't be difficult! Most people that can play creatively on solos have played a minimum of 8 years of daily learning. I got signed at 18,quit high school and never looked back. I am 71 and still play my 81 les paul or my new sg!!!
The trouble with illustrating Eagle’s, songs is copyright! … they not only want your first born, but their lawyers will actually come to your home and steal away your 2nd and 3rd born too! … they are ruthless, and so will you be, if you have a daughter named Ruth!😂
@@zingbopdeluxEagles are my favorite band of all time, and looking back at it they're actually what got me into 70s and eventually 60s music which led to me getting a guitar. But yeah... don't cover Eagles songs on UA-cam. Don Henley will probably pay off the FBI to raid your house. One day you'll wake up and see dozens of jacked men in white vans surround your house 😂
Use a nice guitar through a nice amp, with the amp being the most important bit imho. I do who where to put the gain in this video pretty clear too, no?
Hey Andy…there’s one you could’ve added to the list that has both acoustic and electric parts and I believe there’s just four chords….Boston, “More Than a Feeling”…or Skynyrd’s, “Sweet Home Alabama”. Oh and lest I forget, ZZ Top’s, “La Grange”.
Jim Croce , John Prine, Cat Stevens, Argent , Kristopherson , Bad Company,Ted Nugent. Good video. I was throwing out first ones popped into the addled brain
Hey Andy, glad the UA-cam algorithms lead me to your channel. I thumbs up and subscribe. I think mother and Child Reunion by Paul Simon might fall into that category. I guess it might depend on the way you play it. I was a teenager in the 70s so I’m old. But I clearly remember trying to play fins by Jimmy Buffett and the first part sounded like the first verse of mother and Child Reunion. So I switched and learned to play mother and child reunion instead… One of the first songs I figured out without looking at any music. Nice work, Andy cannot wait to check out some of your other videos.
Let's see you play Harry Chapin! Not just 'Cat's In The Cradle' because musically, it's probably his easiest song. Chapin used some crazy chords. He was an incredibly underrated singer / songwriter.
You could have made this whole video on the Velvet Underground. They made their career on 3 and 4 chord songs. It's not about being complicated, it's how you play it!
Andy you kill that riff absolutely classic pink Floyd very clean from those chords I love it my request hit of led zeppelin good times bad times is in the 60s you missed that one out mate
Add 3 guitarists, 2 of whom know how to do the solos correctly, or don't bother, oh yeah, and one needs to be really good on slide, that 3rd guitarist and the bass player need to know all the rhythmic changes. This post by the organisation against bad covers.
I saw the title and laughed! 70s songs - 4 chords. How about 60s songs - 3 chords, 80s songs - 5 chords, 90s songs-2 chords. ext... good suff! thank you for making this.
Hey Andy, love everything you do! Also was wondering what are the strings you use on your acoustic? Keep delivering awesome tutorials, you've genuinely helped us all ALOT❤
hello I just fitted some D'Addario Super lights to my Yamaha LL16 acoustic the G string is unwound sounds lightweight I am going back to D'Addario Extra lights [G string is wound] Good luck keep picking try a few brands and choose your preference ✌
Cool video, but I feel that I have to point out that your timing and your tempo varied a bit... I hate to be "that guy" but I feel it's worth mentioning considering that a lot of the people who will be learning from this will be beginners... I don't know about you, but one of the biggest struggles for my students was timing and variations/fluctuations in tempo... I figured it'd be a good idea to make a point of letting your students/ viewers know that they should pay close attention to timing and rhythm. Other than that the video was great. You're likable and you have a good vibe, and easy-going style of teaching.

Andy learned more off in a month, than the last 10yrs with even tutors...thank you.

thanks a ton, Andy! Really energized to play today.
Absolutely brilliant this guy is!
Great as usual!!! Many thanks from Brazil
The Eagles? Any of their songs, they ROCK!!!

Great list!!! Thank you!🎸
Nice one Andy, these ones are super fun! Also, would love to see more electric guitar with how to get the right tone!
Use a nice guitar through a nice amp, with the amp being the most important bit imho. I do who where to put the gain in this video pretty clear too, no?

Thanks for watching! What video should I do next?
The 50's and 60's
Hey Andy…there’s one you could’ve added to the list that has both acoustic and electric parts and I believe there’s just four chords….Boston, “More Than a Feeling”…or Skynyrd’s, “Sweet Home Alabama”. Oh and lest I forget, ZZ Top’s, “La Grange”.
Excellent, cheers from Canada....
Jim Croce , John Prine, Cat Stevens, Argent , Kristopherson , Bad Company,Ted Nugent.
Good video. I was throwing out first ones popped into the addled brain
Some great suggestions there!
I am dying for a late beginner or low intermediate tutorial for Time in a Bottle, Operator, Bad Bad Leroy Brown, etc!
Nice campfire/beginner arrangement of "Go Your Own Way"
Cheers Tommy Fleetwood!
Great Andy …🎼👌
The opening riff of Paranoid has the open low E.
❤bientôt une puce dans la tête preprograme et ça ira comme si on joue depuis longtemps sans apprendre 😊😊

Brilliantly Chosen Tracks 👍

That SG sounds amazing in Paranoid
VERY GOOD job
Wow! Thanks for doing the 70's! I think I may have asked for that in comments, but you were probably planning to do this anyway! :)
Thanks for suggesting it! Always good to know I'm on the right track ✌️
So awesome.
For fleetwood Mac you said “capo on 4th” then played with capo at the 3rd.
I saw that too. 😂
God forbid he should make a mistake, how about enjoy the free content and just adjust very slight mistakes on your own, quit bitching
Thank you bro !
Absolutely Brilliant !!!
Great job
You could have made this whole video on the Velvet Underground. They made their career on 3 and 4 chord songs. It's not about being complicated, it's how you play it!
The Jean Genie would be a great addition. ☺️☺️👨🎤
Only so many notes 🎶 Thank you Andy

Done already, it's on youtube! 🎸
Love it!!!! Do you play any songs by led zeppelin??
Add a fifth chord for Freebird! Love that Highway made the list.
Add 3 guitarists, 2 of whom know how to do the solos correctly, or don't bother, oh yeah, and one needs to be really good on slide, that 3rd guitarist and the bass player need to know all the rhythmic changes. This post by the organisation against bad covers.
Cool 😎

I am going back to D'Addario Extra lights [G string is wound]
Good luck

Neil who? Couldn’t find him on Spotify…
We know you meant capo on 3rd!😊
I hope so! 😂
