Great lesson Pavel, I love how you incorporated all of the different angles into this lesson, it really makes it a lot easier to learn. Thank You.
I also appreciate the fact that this is geared more toward beginner players. Being a beginner I feel we need more lessons geared towards us. Thanks again.

I just want to check what do you mean with -
"hit a powerchord and than play 8th notes of the bass note of the chord. In slower metal styles we usually play 8th notes. In faster styles like power metal we play 16th notes as a bass note repetition."
With the bass note you mean the root note, the lowest one, right?
And with 8th notes you mean 2 notes per beat? And this is if we played quarter notes previously, so we play them twice as fast?
|

Pavel |

Instructor

Yeah you got it right!  You can also see in my Rhapsody Style lesson we played 16th notes after hitting the chord or the root note. Bass note doesn't have to be the root note but in our lessons it is usually the root.

Yay!
Oh, I thought that the root note was always the lowest one, on the lowest string.
Oh, wait, of course, if the power chord is on the fifth and the fourth string, than the root note is on the fifth string, but that power chord can also be played using those two strings plus the sixth and third.

Hi Pavel, your dedication is an inspiration to me. I've been playing guitar for 2 years on and off, couldn't really dedicate myself due to work and university commitments. I always felt that my basics foundation was poor (I wanted to shred right away), so I joined GuitarMasterClass.
Now I noticed how you use your ring and little finger to fret adjacent strings (A and D respectively), I do this differently - instead I use my ring finger to fret both A and D strings. Could this be considered bad technique? The instructional material that I've used so far taught me that less is more, that is, use minimal effort to achieve the same end result. Should I stick with the most efficient method or develop technique around yours? Thanks heaps.

@Rawy: man, i somehow missed your post! 3 months late answer  I really like to use a lot of pinky - for me it's easier to use it with riffing in some places, so i don't do any stretches at all. In the end it comes to "what is most comfortable to you". In some chords you'll be forced to use pinky, like 9th chords and similar stuff. It jsut became natural to me so i almost never think of fingering, it just comes in the right way straight away.

I use to use the ring figner to fret the power cord in the same way, however I have see a lot of videos with instructors using the pinky. I think that's a better way to go b/c this technique also helps with the bar cords and you can left that pink off to come up with some cool stuff. See Ivan's funky riffing lesson for an example on this.

Exellent lesson
But i have a little trouble with the rythm though.
The tablature doesn't show me whether to play 1/4, 1/8 or 1/16 notes.
So do you just have to like rip pavels rythm, or is there a better way to do it?
I am doing this lesson 2 hours a day so i would aprecciate an answer very much

That's why there is a GP5 tab to see the exact notation and duration of each note. That's also why we do slow videos, so you can see the rhythm and stuff slowly.

Oh, i see
GP5 is not a free program though, i only have PowerTab, but i will do fine without i guess
And i think that i have copied your rythm well, i just wondered if it would be nice to know how it looks in music notation

I'm sorry you don't have GP5  With it you would be able to see the notation and rest important stuff.

L means "Tied Note". If you're not sure what it is - check "Andrew's Theory Board" - there is a topic dedicated to notes.

Hey great lesson Pavel.
One of the things that I really like is that you've gone through the effort of explaining some of theory behind things like why things work and stuff.
I'm sure that that will make it much easier to apply the things in the lesson to my own playings.
Thanks so much.
