This is a song by the band the Axis of Awesome, it plays bits from 65 different songs that use the same chords. The video honestly never gets old, it's hilarious!

That was awesome! What makes it crazier is that I know all of those songs, LOL! I wanna try this. :P

I have a friend that says that he knows how to play countless songs on the guitar.

All he does is using the same 6 or 7 boring chords and jerk off the guitar strings countless times for every song "he knows how to play"

That video was awesome. And it's no coincidence that the vast majority of those songs are bland rubbish.

Yea, bro. If you know all the basic chords, you can play most of the popular rock songs. Its kinda funny, once I learned all the chords learning a song became  A LOT easier, because its usually the same chords, just a different chord progression.

Edit: Not all songs are that easy though, obviously. :P

you should kick him in the dick.

Fixed.

Sadly...

Hey don't worry. One day, there will be a renassiance of excellent music.

I sure hope so, turning on the radio or music channels today just makes me sad...

Some were forced though, like When I come arround and self steem, but its true, those 4 chords and played in that order are common in a lot of songs, not that its a bad thing, you can do a lot on top of those 4, its just a skeleton of the song.

Makes me think, those notes really appeal to our brain and we dont like some of those songs for other reasons like lyrics, an annoying melody or drum rithm on top of those 4 chords or what the artist that made the song represents.
