It occurs to me that there are a fair number of well known tunes that
can be played on open strings and 1 or 2 fretted notes only - the
first one we tried is 'rock n roll' by Led Zepellin - just pedalling
the A string, D string, A again and G on the E string - the original
version isn't quite that simple but it is close enough to be
convincing.

Other obvious ones are 'Relax' by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and
'Fight for the Right to Party' by the beastie boys.

Their must be loads more - any suggestions?

Louie Louie

Or any I-IV-V progression in A or D...
