Dear Play Alongers,
Bit by bit, very slowly we get more members. The last 3 members come from the USA and Finland. We are really happy to have you on board! Our FREE Ukulele Chordfinder was very popular in the USA, starting at the end of the last century (since 1998). In the USA they were ahead of Europe with supplying internet to houses of individual people.
Berry - Les Passagers
Here is the last song we have added. A very lovely French summer song if you ask me. I heared it in the background when turning on the TV yesterday. It is almost like a 4-chord song, but with a few differences. The main loop is like:
Gm - F - Bb - Eb
Gm - F - Bb - Dm
So it alternates ending with a Eb or a Dm. And the loop is different from most 4 chord songs, otherwise you would get: Gm - Eb - Bb - F... (similar to Am - F - C - G)
The song immediately reminds you of:
Iggy Pop - The Passenger
This is also a 4-chord song with the more general loop. BUT also alternates the ending of each loop and that's what makes it interesting.
Am - F - C - G
Am - F - C - E(7)
TIP: In the song of Berry you can also play D7 instead of Dm. You then hear more resemblance, or hear it more defined...
