I was waiting at Guitar Center today, as were some young guys. An acoustic and a bunch of keyboards were set around the room. On the overhead music (GC
radio) there was a song playing, of the new rock genre, sort of a moody thing, reminiscent of the Doors.
One of the young guys started playing the chords to it on a keyboard. I did the same on the acoustic. We both conquered all two of the chords real quick.
Then the next song came on. It had one chord, Em. We became rock stars right there.
The songs were actually good to listen to and jam with, but simple chord-wise.
Just emphasizes the point made above that all genres have songs and riffs that can range from real easy to real hard.
