Shazam. :D

There is an old saying...

Playing in a rock band is playing 3 chords to 5,000 people... being in a jazz band is playing 5,000 chords to 3 people. :lol:

Cowboy chords are the regular ol' major & minor first position open chords.

They're nicknamed that because they're all the "singing cowboys" like Roy Rogers and Gene Autry ever used. They didn't play fancy jazz chords with lots of extensions or barre chords or double stops or anything like that -- they just strummed open chords.

When Jimi was tuning on stage he'd often say "Sorry, only cowboys stay in tune". That was a reference to the way Roy and Gene could strap a guitar onto the back of their horses, ride all day, then pull them down by the campfire, start playing, and be perfectly in tune. (Sort of the way their six-shooters could fire dozens of bullets without being reloaded.)


Hence one kept criticism of their playing to one's self lest.... :shock: ...



Is this a cowboy song? :wink:

Thanks for the explanation, as a little kid in France I used to love that music, probably the reason I always watched Westerns....
