When playing metal or rock you will be playing power chords in every song. Power chords are an essential and therefore worthy of a course on its own.
In this course you’re going to learn how to play open power chords, fretted power chords, multiple techniques, drop tuned power chords and eventually you’re going to play a song to test your skills.
TAB Reading
In the previous course you’ve already seen the ‘TAB READING’ instruction video. This is the 2nd video in the course so important for the order (might be sold as a stand alone course). Feel free to skip 🙂
Open Power Chords pt I
Power chords are ‘powerful sounding chords’ and used when playing electric guitar.
In this lesson we’re going to check out the ‘open’ power chords on three strings played from string 6 and 5.
Once you got the chords down. Use the backing track (mp3) to practice the exercise. It’s good practice to play along with drums to keep you in time and to make the exercises more ‘musical’. Good luck!
Open Power Chords pt II
In this lesson we’re going to include the open power chord from string 4.
Once you got the chords down, use the backing track to practice the chords. Good luck!
CHECK POINT 1
Make a video of yourself whilst playing open power chord exercise 2.
Please send it over with the course feedback and then I’ll send you the next chapters.
