How many times have they used it???

Even in a different key.....

Suppose the title should really read 'The I, V, VI, IV chord thing' but hey ho......

Is it getting boring/predictable now? Having said that, it's very very rare that this musical element has been used and no one likes it. The only instance I can think of is Save The World (Which I think is very good but that's another story lol)

Thoughts?

off the top of my head it's appeared in:

in these arms
say it isn't so
something to believe in
have a nice day
hearts breaking even


to name a few and there's alot more than that i can't think of just now.

it's a brilliant progression and they're not the only band that's done it to death.

i know i have in my songs

Just wondering, isn't that also used in Warrant's "Heaven"?

yeah that and the 12 bar blues in E. Both of them have been used to death and not just by Jovi but all musicians. It's just a common transition. I know I use them a lot as well. That's just like saying "how many Solo's can Kirk Hammet do in the E minor penatonic scale?" I have been noticing that they have been using it a lot more lately though.

It's been a while since I played that but I think so. I know Poison used it in Every Rose, Skid Row used it in I Remember You and I think Warrant also used it in Blind Faith.

Oh Yeah, Richie used it in Made In America too.

Try Em - C - G - D/F#
You'll be amazed. Even in diffrent keys

12 bar blues progression is

I IV I V IV I V

Yeah, it is really annoying! They always use that one.. or sometimes this one: Am F C G (in different keys). It gets too predictable and boring when they always use it!

Ok I know shit about chords and stuff but your all talking about the same kinda chords used on guitar right?
I don't see it when seeing the above songs, they are enterirely different musically aren't they?

(or has it to do with the speed/rythum the chords are played?)

That's pretty much what I said I got a list of songs on those chords Bon Jovi songs and other hit songs
Believe me: This is the "hitformula"
