Chezz55 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Not necessarily the most famous but iconic for me: Summertime Blues (Eddie Cochrane or The Who) Knife Edge (Emerson Lake and Palmer) School Days (Stanley Clarke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICbass Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 If you allow 4 notes. The same 4 (depending on how divide the measure) can be The Addams Family Theme or Great Balls of Fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 My son went to see the Stones at Twickenham and (from off stage) Keef played the first 2 chords to Brown Sugar. He said he'd never heard a noise as loud as the whole stadium (70,000-ish people) cheering those notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivansc Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) First 3 notes of chopsticks. P.S. Can I remind contestants that we are talking THREE notes here. Not the whole intro to every Chuck Berry song ever. Edited July 6, 2016 by ivansc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ras52 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Gogglebox theme - or at least the bit that frames the ad breaks (three notes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassace Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Going back to the first post, Peaches intro quite recognisable but to declare it the three most famous notes in music a bit arrogant perhaps. I was coming back in the car this morning and Ken Bruce played The Wind Cries Mary. Three recognisable chords there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Very first chord in the Pink Panther Theme. Name that chord. Don't try Googling, it will get you nowhere. http://youtu.be/9OPc7MRm4Y8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
