I was just riffin' a little bit and came up with this simple power chord diddy. I know it's already a famous song...but I can't for the life of me figure out which one!!! Does it sound familiar to you guys?

Turns out I started my power chord on a whole step higher on B5 instead of an A5, but the intervals were the same.

Have you guys ever had a similar thing happen to you? I've been playin' 4 years and this is the first time I ever discovered something that's already been "discovered".

It's been answered, but I wanted to add that I know. It's "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes.

I do it all the time. I'll start jamming on something I came up with, only to hear from my drummer... "hey, cool, you learned such and such." He's like a virtual music library, so there's no getting much by him (at lest in that sence).

A tad passive agressive, eh? :p
