    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    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”.

    Hey Andy, glad the KZread 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.

    As always AXEsone 🎸 re Highway to Hell..... I play bass or should I say I try to 🤔 and one of my problems is learning and remembering chord sequences on which to base the bass. Your channel is a great help as is your methods Only recently did a friend say when I see Dsus2/F# the appropriate bass note is F#. I looked online and came away with lots of information and a headache . Is this always ish true? If I played D, in this instance , would it sound bad or simply less good. You might say try both l but the problem is I don't have the best hearing or the best music player in the business and I'm never sure. It was the same at school with spellings "try both ways" but when I did that they both look 😢😢😢
