I hope she's planning on some string pattern variants, or she's in for some serious boos when she goes to open mic night.<br><br>--Ammendum<br>I forgot to add that the second part is the most important beyond anything. "The truth babby" is what makes or breaks a song. If you want to reduce the number of chords, you can reduce the legnth of the song to match. For instance 3 Chords = 30 seconds to 50 seconds, 1 minute if you're really good but don't stretch your luck. 4 chords 1:30 to 2:45, but 5 chords is where variation starts really taking off, where you can stretch a song from a range of 3:00 to 5:00 easily. Once you go to 6-8 chords your song legnth becomes nearly limited by your own musical ability. 50 seconds is more than long enough to express a good to the point statement, so 3 chords is acceptable, but a 5 chord base with additional mild variant chords (substitute 7 for minor, etc) is really ideal for your average song.<br>--/Ammendum<br><br><br>!!deleted off topic segment because post ran long.!!

It's probably from an old joke of music, that pop-rock bands only had three chords to a song. No need to take things so seriously, amigo <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I know Status Quo only had three chords and look at them now!

Maybe it refers to classic rock songs. But, yeah don't take it so seriously, this is wisdom for short attention spans remember, not a graduate thesis. I think <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I found three more (I apologize for the annoying size of the last one):<br><br><img src='http://www.graphxpress.com/images/wcotp ... 21203c.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br><img src='http://www.graphxpress.com/images/wcotp ... 30129c.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br><img src='http://www.graphxpress.com/images/wcotp ... 31130d.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br><br>The first one is from Midwest FurFest 2002; the second is from Further Confusion 2003, and the last one is from Midwest FurFest 2003.

Oooh.... Hairy Potter!

Ooh, awesome. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--><br>

Those are cool.

That they are

If memory serves, that's all four Jim Groat art jams to which I've ever contributed.

Cool!
