E String Song
March 8th, 2008 by Matt Sayar
I recently bought a cable to connect my guitar to my computer, and I thought I’d record something to test it. I wrote a simple song using nothing but the E, A, and D strings, so it’s pretty simple to play. It actually sounds familiar to me, and I might subconsciously be playing a song I heard when I was five or something. Anyway, give it a listen! If anyone likes it enough, I’ll tabulate it.

You’ll probably find that you’ve heard most chord progressions that have ever been commonly used in your chosen genre of music. E, A, and D (while you’re just using the strings) are a staple of blues and rock. It’s the spin you put on things that makes a song different.
