Songs using A E or D chords only

Dear all,

I am Jayesh from Auckland, NZ, i have just started learning guitar, i just love the sound of guitar, I think its the best instrument, I just learned 3 chords A E and D.

I was wondering if you know any songs which can be played using only this 3 chords ( A E D), prefrebly old songs (BTW i am just 34) but i still think kishore and mukesh were one of the best singers.

Regards
Jayesh Jain

Thank you latestcrush and abhimanjeraker,

I havent heard some of the song in the list but i will download them today and listen to them, I just want to play a real song and feel the music, i have the same problem at xtc1992 with strumming,

I have seen many website which list songs with chords, i am looking for a place where you can select chords and it shows a list of songs based on that chords, this can really help the newbie like me to play a song with just the chords you know.

Can you please post some more songs on the chords above,

Finally thank you all for your help

I think Jayesh you are looking for shortcut......which becomes longcut lateron......as a guitarist i would suggest you to learn as many chords as possible atleast first the chods of upper frets like:

Em(simplest chord on guitar) Am (famous to all guitarist for chura liya) G C F Dm A# and you already know A D and E.

So I guess you can then play almost any song....and don't have to always seek A..D..E.
Now any scale song you can play on A D E.
Tell me any song and I can tell you to shift its scale to A D E but it would work better with songs near to A scale.like a song of G or B/C

e.g. Darde Dil --G Scale
Doorie-atif----A Scale
Pehli Nazar Atif-A Scale
Musafir hoon yaaron--C
lamha lamha doorie you--C(I don't see to many songs in BMajor strange)

list is endless....but checkout the chords on forum as I want you to learn by yourself ....and the songs are all available on youtube.......
and i repeat ...there is never a free lunch...... so work hard

Dear Rakesh,

You hammered the nailed on the head.
I am a impatient person, so that kick in my butt was necessary.

last night I started learning more chords

now I know A Am E Em D Dm and G

Now this might be a really bumb question what do u mean by scale i.e A scale G scale.

and what fdo you mean by "shift its scale to A D E but it would work better with songs near to A scale.like a song of G or B/C"

I understand that there may not be a quick answer but if you can please point me to some article to explain me the above.

Finally thank you for your honest advice .... i really needed one

Though u will find some songs.. I think u shoud learn the following easy chords:

G, C, Am, Em
and after that u will be in the same level as 90% of IGT subscribers. you will be all set.

a very common strumming pattern is D--D-U--U-D-U
Depending on songs you can go faster or slower & add/skip a beat.

Hello Jayesh,
Scale of a specific chord means octave of that chord.
It is basic theory of guitar ,it'll be difficult to explain. plz learn it frm some1 or serach google for guitar theory.

well there are many begginer lessons in lesson forum. check those out. very helpful lessons and posts are there to understand scales strumming pattern etc. so it better to surf those threads.
