  1. Power Chords

  2. Here is a basic E form of the power chord (in this case an F power chord at the first fret) Root is on the 6th string Fret 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 F F#/Gb G G#/Ab A Bb/A# B C C#/Db D D#/Eb E Memorize this so that you can do it at any fret. Practice through the circle of 5ths.

  3. 5th root power cord (A form of Caged) Below is Bb. Fret 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Bb/A# B C C#/Db D D#/Eb E F F#/Gb G G#/Ab A Memorize this so that you can do it at any fret. Practice through the circle of 5ths.

  4. Using open strings with power chords 0 0 0 For most positions you will mute the other strings but if you play the above at the 7th fret you will see that the notes are E and B which means that the 6th string and 1st string open are E’s and the 2nd string open is a B so you can play all of the strings. Listen to Rockin’ In The Free World for an example of this.

  5. Power Chords E F F#,Gb G G#, Ab A A#,Bb B C C#,Db D D#,Eb E This is a G power chord. The root is on the 6th string 3rd fret and the 5th string 5th fret. Be sure to think of them that way. These can be used for any major, minor or 7th type chord. Do not hit the other strings!! Learn the notes on each of the strings!! Learn the positions so that you can spot any note on the guitar. This slide shows the notes on the 6th string, which is also the same notes on the 1st string. Memorize these ASAP!!! 1 3 4

  6. Here are the 6th root power chords. Take your time and memorize them. These can be used against all Major, Minor and Dominant (7th) chords. Will not work on augmented or diminished chords but since those are rarely used in rock and popular music it isn’t much of an issue.These power chords only have 2 different notes to them the root and the 5th note of the scale.

  7. This is the 2nd set with the 5th string root chords. Between the 2 sets you now should know all the notes on the 6th and 5th strings. This also gives you the notes on the 3rd string as the note you play on the 3rd string is the same as the name of the note on the 5th string. By now you should be getting where the notes are on the 6th, 5th, 4th and 3rd strings and since the 6th and 1st strings have the same name you also have the notes on the first string.

  8. Let’s try a song using just power chords!! For this song we will play just F, Bb, and C power chords. F is at the 1st fret, Bb at the 6th fret and C is at the 8th fret. 4/4||: F | | Bb | | C | | Bb | : || Now twice as fast. 4/4||: F | Bb | C | Bb : || This could be a song such as The Joker.

  9. Power Chords Here are the notes on the 4th string. Use this to really learn the notes and visualize that there are 2 roots to these power chords! This is very important. Your goal for next week is to learn the names of the notes on the 1st, 4th and 6th strings. That will put you about ½ way through learning the notes. I don’t expect them to be just at your fingertips but that you can figure them out. E F F#,Gb G G#, Ab A A#,Bb B C C#,Db D D#,Eb E 1 3 4
