Post by: LaurieBiagini on February 06, 2006, 02:31:30 PM Amazing Grace also has IV ... (in "how sweet the sound")
Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: catman on February 06, 2006, 02:40:41 PM I think you could omit the IV and get away with it........... :)
You could just stay on the I. I must admit it is hard to resist that IV!......I think I'll have to agree with you. Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on February 06, 2006, 02:52:30 PM Most good harmonizations of Amazing Grace have a lot more than two chords.

Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on February 06, 2006, 03:44:25 PM I say hit the beginners hard. At least 24 chords per song.
Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: no on February 06, 2006, 03:47:59 PM Yes. Start them off with "Aja" or "Black Cow."
Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: no on February 06, 2006, 03:53:57 PM I believe "This Old Man" uses I and V exclusively.
Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: Matinee Idyll on February 06, 2006, 04:05:55 PM I'm sure something from Van Morrison does... off Astral Weeks... "Cyprus Avenue", "Madame George" maybe? Don't have them nearby to check, but they are arguably only two chords...

Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: b.dfzo on February 06, 2006, 04:37:05 PM Dream Baby, Roy Orbison...that's the only one I can think of right now.
Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: NimrodsSon on February 06, 2006, 04:55:24 PM Well, I can't think of any off the top of my head, but there are probably at least 100 Brian Wilson songs that use either primarily or only I and IV.
Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on February 06, 2006, 04:55:37 PM Quote I believe "This Old Man" uses I and V exclusively. Nope. Quote Dream Baby, Roy Orbison...that's the only one I can think of right now. Nope. Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: b.dfzo on February 06, 2006, 05:36:31 PM Quote Dream Baby, Roy Orbison...that's the only one I can think of right now. Nope. Quote How so? Yes, for variation, on the verse it switches the emphasis to I and IV...but, still, it only uses C7 and F. ONLY...TWO...CHORDS! This song is a work of genius; if any track should be included, it should be "Dream Baby" for its ingenious use of...TWO...CHORDS! TWO CHORDS! Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: b.dfzo on February 06, 2006, 05:37:37 PM TWO CHORDS!
(Sorry for the abuse. :)) Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: andy on February 06, 2006, 05:39:12 PM but not I and V.
Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: andy on February 06, 2006, 05:40:42 PM There have to be some hip-hop songs with only I and V.
::thinking:: Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: b.dfzo on February 06, 2006, 05:51:12 PM But, come on...Why can't this thread be "songs with only two chords five semi-tones apart, ie. F and C"? That would mean a slower death to this already dying thread. No offense intended.
Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on February 06, 2006, 05:55:15 PM See, I would actually almost go so far as to call the change to F7 in Dream Baby a key change. It's a very neat chord change, I just don't believe that it functions harmonically as the I chord in that situation.
Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: b.dfzo on February 06, 2006, 06:02:07 PM When you can think of a worthy list of songs that ONLY uses I and V, dig me up and dust me off; you might be looking for a while.

Sorry, it's a I - IV Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: b.dfzo on February 06, 2006, 07:39:27 PM Now, THAT is a chord combo you'll find in great amounts.

Title: Re: Songs that have the chords only I and V ......? Post by: jazzfascist on February 07, 2006, 05:37:41 AM Okay, I don't really know that notation system, but "Heroin" is made up of two chords five semitones apart C-F, as far as I can tell.

Post by: catman on February 09, 2006, 02:44:41 PM Let me say that some of these songs can be song like a chant and the IV can be avoided. But it sounds really weak.
