The Unexpected Chords


Recommended Posts

Carl Perkins' 1955 recording of "Honey Don't" (the B-side of "Blue Suede Shoes") goes from a E chord to C7 instead of the more conventional A:

Perkins was asked about it in a Guitar Player Magazine interview in 1997, and he said: "Well, that just proves that I didn't know what the hell I was doing, or I wouldn't have thought it'd work.  I was just trying to hook something together to sound a little different, I thought if I could write a song that doesn't sound like everybody else, I might have a chance."
