My Dad taught me 'Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do' going up and 'I lost my knickers in the snow' going down!


It proved invaluable in learning songs and tunes in any key once I worked out minors and modes.


Would a three chord trick be e.g. Doh I, IV,V


What do 'European' folkies and rockers call chords we call C, F, G7 etc? ( apart from 'seemples' just to preempt the wisecrackers)
