ONE CHORD SONG IN E

This tune features a Cuban rhythm known as a CLAVE.

Bo Diddley made an entire career with one chord clave rhythm tunes.  George Thorogood made a few too.

Easy to count:

One Two Three     One Two

One Two Three    One Two

There are no chord changes.  You can play E, E5, E7, or E9.

Pay attention to the dynamics (loud and soft).

Do not worry about chord changes.  Concentrate on the rhythm.

Tap your foot when you feel it.  Experiment around with your strum patterns.

For leads you can use the Pentatonic minor or major scale in E
