- four? I wonder what the fourth one does?

You've completely misunderstood, perhaps my words were chosen badly. I know a chord is usually formed of three notes, not four. Not what I meant at all.
He played four notes (each a single piano key) in various sequences and different timings, to show how these four notes could be shown to form the basis of almost any pop song. He then used the same approach, but with the four chords played on the piano this time rather than single piano keys, to develop the same theme a little more 'impressively'. It was both entertaining and a real eye opener, and made for a good, boozy night.
I was merely illustrating the point that Kiloran heard one thing buried deep in 'White Light/White Heat', but the same notes triggered thoughts of lots of different songs for other Fools.
