  • The Seeds - Pushin Too Hard

    juicegermer | 20 Jun '13, 17:32 | X
  • The Jam - That's Entertainment

    Ikara Colt - One Note

    GayGuevara | 20 Jun '13, 17:39 | X
    • That's Entertainment has four, it cycles between two in the verses but then there's two more in the chorus.

              • It's definitely four

                Although I'm going with Bb and Gm for the verses, Cm and Ab for the verses.

                bornin69 @GayGuevara | 20 Jun '13, 19:53 | X
                • It doesn't have any drums either

                  But he definitely plays what I said in this version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3ncWH7_pSM

                  And its obviously more than two chords

        • I've always played it as:

          G, B, C, Cm - never seen the offical chord structure so I could be wrong of course.
