In KAME today we did a battle of the bands thing, where we split into 2 groups and made our own 4 chord song, based off the 4 chord song by Axis of Awesome. Aside from it being really enjoyable, I think it was extremely useful as an excersise to do with a high school class when I actually become a teacher as it was a really good way to hammer in those 4 chords over and over again without being boring.
I was reminded by this of a medley I found a while back by Yuri Menna, a french musician, where he uses these same 4 chords over and over again to play some songs in a medley, and I decided I would play this medley this week. The reason I chose this over the Axis of Awesome 4 chords song is I’m not that familiar with all the songs in that version and it gets super high, and I can’t be buggered to sing stuff like take on me because my voice isn’t anywhere near that high. I also like the songs in this medley quite a lot.
It is of note, however, that I couldn’t play it without occasionaly stuttering or screwing up the time from having to change tabs for lyrics so I couldn’t do a perfect recording but I gave it my best shot.
