Comment from : CryptoKnight

For some odd reason when I play power chords it dosent sound correct lol Idk if it’s because I’m not putting enough strength into it or if it’s my amp settings or something-

This is the first video that presented power chords in a way that actually made sense I will definitely go to the hardware store tomorrow to get a plug for my amp that my dog ate, now that I have been motivated again
Comment from : Robert Linscott

Power chords were "invented" by Elvis Presley's original guitarist, Scotty Moore, on Elvis records in the mid 50's They are also popular in punk rockjust fyi

Comment from : cory larrabee

You are the most important person I watched on YouTube When you said to use power chords to play along with my favorite music it clicked I do not feel like a beginner
Comment from : cory larrabee

I’ve been playing for 15 years now and I’m still sitting through your video bc someone told me I didn’t use proper technique and that I smush the strings and don’t use my fingertips correctly lol With that said, I hope it shows how grateful I am for your videos and how much trust I have in your teachings lol Great video! m/
Comment from : armandobravo4L

If you bar the 5th fret on the 5th and 4th string with your first finger you still get a G power cord as you are still playing the same 2 notes you would if you play em on the 3rd fret first string and 5th fret second strong They are just inverted It's how Billy Gibbons from ZZ top plays them usually If you want to mute all the strings you aren't playing very easily, you can just put a hair scrunchy slightly infront of and on top of the nut Lazy playing at it's finest :D

Thank you Rachel I have a Traumatic Brain Injury and have a hard time getting my mind to translate to mind when learning, plus I suffer from tremors But I have learned more in 2 of your videos than months on JamPlay I also recommend Black Sabbath "Paranoid" for power chord and palm muting practice

Comment from : matt scantlebury

Great videoI started guitar at the age of 51 last year and have been having trouble with power chords particularly moving them around fast enough and making sure those unnecessary strings are mutedone of the earliest records to go big based around power chords is the kinks, you really got mesome people credit the kinks with creating heavy rock / metal

Comment from : Robert Northrup

Tried playing Ironman and Seven Nation Army with 3 fingersdidn't take
Comment from : TheBadAsh

When playing the lowest powerchord I always use my index finger to mute the e B and G string, but I also mute the D string with my ring finger I tried everything but I can't rid of it Do you have any hints?
Comment from : Harry

enjoyed your lesson on power chords!
Comment from : Jordan George

Excellent instructions Just one note (pun intended) :D brOne can play an E5 power chord by playing open E-string (that's the thickest one, the 6th string) and seventh fret on the A-string (that's the second thickest one, the 5th string) and ninth fret on a D-string (that's B on a 4th string) - so its like 0-7-9 (E-E-B)brbrAnd of course, same 0-7-9 (A-A-E) goes, if one wants to play A5 in that position from one string below low E - from fifth string
Comment from : Ose Marvin

That is a beautiful guitar, and you teach real good too
Comment from : bduff71

I'm late to the party here, but I recommend the Godzilla theme by Blue Oyster Cult for learning about power chords My 12 year old is a big fan of the movie series, and this one MAKES him practice a lot more! 🤘🎸

What is the best site to learn chords and power chords to learn ?
Comment from : Ar Emm

Watching you play and teach with your genuine smile reminds of Dwight Yoakam’s axe man Eugene Edwards He smiles all the time like he is sooo in love with what he does I am a 63 year old retired UPS driver that decided it was time that I learn to play guitar YouTube and Pinot Noir (red wine) have become my mentors! 😂 Once I stumbled on to your site I have found that learning is a bit more enjoyable You are straight forward and understanding when it comes to the struggles At 63 getting your fingers, hand and wrist to move the way that it needs to is a chore Your power chord lesson along with Sean Daniel’s 1 finger cord lesson has inspired me enough to move forward Thank you for taking the time to help an older person learn!
