🎤5 Easy Campfire Guitar Songs // 3 Easy Chords // G D A// Acoustic Guitar Lesson // Easy Campfire Guitar Songs for Beginners

💥💥THIS WEEK💥💥
Welcome to EPISODE 2 of my Five Easy Songs THREE Easy Chords song compilation.

Today I cover songs from each year of the LATE 70's...1975, 76,77,78,79.

I wonder what songs they will be?

🎤Song 1 - 1975 ???🎤
Dr Hook was a band known for their novelty lyrics, song titles and easy listening acoustic ballads. Originally called Dr Hook and the Medicine Show, they shortened the name to Dr Hook in 1975 when they signed with Capitol Records following the successful singles Sylvias Mother, and The Cover of the Rolling Stone.

In 1975 they recorded this song “Only 16” which was a cover version of the Sam Cooke song originally released in 1959. We’ll this version reached #6 on the US charts and cemented Dr Hook as a bone fide hit making band at the time. Interestingly, the song was banned by the BBC at the time which is a reflection of the conservative values at the time.

Finally, the name Dr Hook came from the lead singers Ray Sawyers trademark eyepatch, which he parallel to Peter Pans character Captain Hook. Funnily enough, Caption Hook never actually has an eyepatch.

As far as 3 chord songs go, this one does not get any easier. It has a soft and slow melody and it is the vocals that make this song a memorable one.

🎤Song 2 - 1976🎤
This band originally stared with the name “The Yen” in 1963, then changed to “The Sphinx”, “Essence”, “The Four Corners”, “The Elizabethans” and finally “Smokie”. It was at this point that another big name artist (Smokey Robinson) hit them with a lawsuit claiming their name would confuse fans, so they changed the spelling and this made the problem disappear.

This song was released in November 1976 and became the bands most successful hit, peaking at #1 in Australia and #5 in the UK and #25 in the US. Not many people are aware that this hit song was another cover. It was originally released by little known Australian Band “New World” in 1972.

🎤Song 3 - 1977 🎤
This is one of those all time feel good songs, and who doesn’t love a simple reggae beat? It is said the inspiration behind this song is a female singing group who often performed with Bob Marley and his band, known as "Threes". And this my friends, is where the song title "Three Little Birds came from.

As far as three chord songs go, this could not get much easier. And as a campfire guitar song it is definitively one to keep as a favourite in your repertoire because the lyrics are simple to sing along to, and the guitar is simple also.

🎤Song 4 - 1978 🎤
Kenny Rogers was a master storyteller with his songs as this would rate as surely one of his best. The Gambler has a timeless chorus with lyrics that are known by all generations. They are not only catchy, but they offer some of the best advice anyone person could ever hope to receive.

🎤Song 5 - 1979 🎤
The original song performed by British band Hot Chocolate featured heavy electric guitar and synthesiser but it does translate pretty well to a paired-back acoustic guitar. You just gotta sing the song with conviction and inject some soul into your guitar playing.
