Why so many songs need so few chords
A lot of Nepali pop and folk sits on steady two- and four-bar loops. The songwriting leans on melody and lyric, not harmonic movement, which is exactly what makes it generous to beginners. You learn G, C and D once, and suddenly a real chunk of this catalog opens up.
When you are ready for a fourth chord, the app sequences the next song so it teaches you exactly one new shape.
