Studio recording of The Axis of Awesome's "4 Chords". The song that proves that all you need to be a pop star is four simple chords.

The audio is accompanied with a slide show of the original artists.

Different recordings of "4 Chords" will vary as the band continually updates the song with the latest hits that use the structure.

    ever heard of modes? harmonic minors? metal uses some very interesting chord progressions. no offence, but if you believe that, the metal you played as a teen was probably fucking shit.

    This one is based off the original song they put together for their comedy routine. The official one that they released on their album is different though, yes.

    The "reverse" of the primary progression (vi IV I V), whose examples start after the awesome AH-HA falsetto screech, is way more annoying IMO. Linkin Park uses it incessantly with their singles, for example. Anyway gr8 vid.
