Folk on electric guitar
Folk on electric guitar: the progressions three chords (I–IV–V) and pop axis (I–V–vi–IV), each with audio on its own page. In this family the electric fits country's bright twang and reggae's clean chords, which land between the main beats, while softer Hawaiian and celtic styles lean on acoustic voices.
Folk thrives on simplicity: songs meant for singing together, with direct melodies and lean harmony that put the story front and center. This page collects the style's classic progressions, like the three-chord one — the trio behind countless songs — and the pop axis, a four-chord loop heard all over popular music.
