RobRose Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 So the band was goofing around in rehearsal today and the drummer started playing the drum part for "Hot Hot Hot", a song I detest. Bass player chimes in with his part, so I start playing the 1-4-5 chord progression and start to sing bits of: First Cut is the Deepest D'yer Mak'er Fool in the Rain Twist and Shout Hang on Sloopy Wild Thing ...everything but Hot Hot Hot. Anyway it was a blast and caused a certain fun frustration for the folks watching the rehearsal. We thought we'd try it in performance. Now I'm looking for songs that stick to the 1-4-5 progression in the same timing (more or less 2 beats per chord of 1-4-5-4 and repeat). Any song suggestions?

Fingerstyle_Jim Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 We used to merge "Hang on Sloopy" with "Wild Thing" and "Louie Louie". Jim My SoundClick Page My New Music Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picker Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 These are not exactly 1-4-5, but should work...

Caevan O’Shite Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Great idea, Rob! My brain's stuck on songs already mentioned here so far, though- damned if I can think of any others right now... !! If yer gonna do a "Louie, Louie" segment, lean heavily on the reggae-inflected version that Toots & the Maytals did on the album Funky Kingston- it'll keep within your I-IV-V-IV framework while allowing a cool rhythmic and stylistic shift which will add further interest, and score points with those hipper members of the audience.

RobRose Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Thanks for the suggestions. To clarify, however: I meant songs that follow the same 1-4-5-4 pattern and more or less the same timing as "Hot Hot Hot" rather than songs with simply the 1, the 4, and the 5 in them. My fault for not being clearer. Nash-customized Gibson Les Paul, Godin Progression Plus Quilter MicroPro Mach 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
