Combining Power Chords with Single Note Lines
In this section, we're combining power chords with single note lines.
Power Chord E5
- The first chord we're using is the E5 power chord, which we've seen before.
- Remember that although we're playing the second fret, we need to use our first finger, sliding everything up a fret.
Tips for Playing E5
- Sound: Focus on generating the right sound.
- Strumming: Play just the top two strings for this E5 chord.
- Use a circular motion; don't drag through all the strings.
- Strumming Power: Keep your strumming soft.
- All the power and distortion is coming from the amp.
Moving to Bar 2
- In bar 2, there is an "NC" above the bar, which means no chord.
- This indicates that the notes written are what we will play without chord accompaniment.
Notes in Bar 2
- Quarter Notes:
- A G on the E string
- An F sharp on the E string (from fret 3 to fret 2)
- Shift your fingers accordingly:
- Use your middle finger on fret 3
- Use your first finger on fret 2
Technique: Rolling the Finger
- Combine the technique of rolling your finger as discussed in previous sections.
- When you reach F sharp, roll your finger down to prepare for the chord.
Moving from Bar 2 to Bar 3
- After the rest, transition down to the next chord.
- The rest allows us two beats to move that finger down:
- Power Chord Sequence:
- Count: 2, 1, 2
- Use middle finger, first finger, rest, and roll down.
- Power Chord Sequence:
Transition to Bar 4
- In bar 4, roll your first finger back up to the F sharp and go to an E.
- The rhythm is straightforward; we've tackled much harder challenges than this.
Conclusion
- Take a moment to look over this section, then we'll try to play it together.
