How to play Red River Rock: key, chords and progression
These are the chords for Red River Rock by The Ventures on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
Red River Rock by The Ventures keeps coming home to A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). You need 5 chords: A, E, D, E7 and A7.
The backbone of the song is D – A – E – A (IV – I – V – I in A major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
