TEN Songs You ONLY Need THREE CHORDS For!! | Cory Teaches Music

All songs are made from chords. Chords give us the collection of pitches we need in order to create melodies, harmonies and the like. Often songs have a lot of chords...but some only have THREE! Here are TEN songs you can play with only THREE chords! SUPER EASY UKULELE SONGS!

***As a note (and I might have not explained it the best in the video) throughout this whole medley you’ll see I used four total chords (C, a, F and G) but each song only uses three of those four chords. So while YES each song uses only THREE chords, in total you see four used throughout the whole medley. ALSO, this is NOT a tutorial! I actually have made tutorials for many of these songs now, so check them out on my channel!***

Tutorials I have made as of 6/22/20 from this video:

Hi all! There is a bit of confusion about the chords in this video. Each song used in the medley only has three chords. There are a total of 4 chords used in the medley though. So each song has some combination of 3 of the four total chords. The video is songs that use three chords—not that each song uses the same exact 3 chords in the same order. I have also linked individual full tutorials for many of the songs in the video so check out the description for those links! Thanks all!

I'm probably not doing it right but it's like my fingers are playing Twister.

I like the idea of having several songs that can be played with 3 or 4 chords. Especially simple chords. It gives me a chance to make music while learning the chords and creating muscle memory. Once i get really good at that, I can start adding new chords or picking somewhere in between. Before you know it, you're playing anything!

You did such an awesome job switching songs! I love the progression! Great job!

[ShadowLamperouge]

It's really fun to try and play along with Cory while she plays the 10 songs!

Thank you thank you…I’ve played guitar (pretty badly) for a fair few years. We bought a ukelele for our daughter for Christmas and some drums for my son. I’ve started to look for a way of learning with her and this is fantastic…a really great entry level video for us to both learn! Thank you so much

You have a lovely voice and you're extremely talented. Thank you so much for this. I just received my first Soprano Uke and chord sheet ABC's was feeling extremely overwhelmed. This is such a great start for me with 4 chords. So I love Dreams, Closer, Bob Marley, actually any of them. They are all good songs. Thank you again. You're a Beautiful Soul for doing this💜

Thanks, just getting back into this after being home for weeks, and my uke is tuned again.
I will play it every day and the muscle memory is still there, just a little slow right now.
