Four chords is all you need for very many pop songs. Axis of Awesome – 4 Four Chord Song (with song titles) video shows an Australian comedy group ‘Axis Of Awesome’ perform a sketch from the 2009 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
This song performance proves that all you need to be a pop star is four simple chords. If you did a bit of analysis on all your favorite hits to realize how many of them use that exact same progression!
The trick they used: They use the major chords, not the minors or diminished. And that’s why many pop songs sound so similar.
You know your good at performing live when its better than the music video you made of the same song.

Ear Training: Those 4 chords in every song!

In this video we are going to train our ear together with the famous chord progression 6-, 4, 1, 5D. First, we’ll sing the roots to make sure we can feel the chord changes. Then we’ll practice the ear training exercise Melody Paths, singing melodies connecting chord notes across the chord progression.
This chord progression 6-, 4, 1, 5D has been used thousands of times in popular music, and you are probably very familiar with it already. I have created a special playlist for you so you can go listen to songs from different styles that use chords 6-, 4, 1, 5D.
