SONGS YOU CAN PLAY WITH A CHORDELIA GUITAR MACHINE
​
There are two main sorts of Chordelias - one has FIVE chords, and one has SIX...
​
You can play hundreds of songs with either sort, but the six-chord version is obviously more versatile. Here is a list of songs that you can play with 5 chords or less, and further down the page is another list for the 6-chord version. (If there's a specific song you want to play, look up the chords and check they match. Or get in touch..)
