One of the greatest, coolest, and at the same time easiest things to play on an electric guitar are power chords. Take a distorted sound, put your fingers onto one or two strings, and rock out - big time!
In no time at all, you’ll learn two- and three-part power chords and all the things you can do with them, even as a beginner. And don’t forget to record yourself! Everything is valuable, even the very first, careful steps. You are the star!
The so called power chord is one of the coolest things on guitar. Just take a distorted sound, put one or two fingers on the strings and rock the house. It´s easy to learn to play the two or three voice power chord and to discover all its possibilities. Even as a beginner. But don´t forget: Always record yourself . Everything you do is special and beautiful even if you are doing your first steps. You are the stars!
And remember: you can always skip videos and watch them later on. The curriculum is a recommendation, not a set rule. Don’t forget that non-members are welcome to download all play-alongs for free.
You’ve already got the hang of power chords? Then it’s about time to get some sense of rhythm. I’ve prepared a little accompaniment for you. Quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, shifted chords, syncopation – nothing’s safe from you now!
