I think it's all in the way you actually play each chord. It can be a three chord song, but, as in finger picking a guitar you can highlight single notes within the chord and produce a nice sound. It's like a chef or cook who is given a few ingredients to produce a good meal.


And chords need not be boring nor difficult..... just experiment...add a 6th to the triad...easy to do, but what a difference in sound. Also I like to experiment with altering chords.... raise the 5th of the V chord... what atmosphere and you haven't even had to change keys to get interest....it provides 2 half-steps leading into the root or I chord, so get extra emotion and feeling, more pull or tug on the heart strings. Try it!!!
