   Hello GMC!

In this lesson I will try to show you Power Chords in few editions. As you already know, Power Chords includes root note and perfect 5th.

Now, a common way of playing it, is on bottom strings and it usually has bassy sound. Lets see how to play these Power Chords using higher strings as well. This approach will surely bring more color into your playing, it needs just a bit of left hand muting, using of thumb and that's all.

This piece is in key of E(minor),tempo 105, hard rocking feel. May the Power be with You!! :)

Smart thinking Muris - anyone who feels their rhythm work is too repetitive should dive into some more advanced power chords shapes! biggrin.gif

Power Chords are great and easy to learn, but even playing them requires a special touch if you want it to sound right. Muris proves it here. Nice job! No matter what BPM you play this lesson at at it just sounds like rock and roll.
