Lesson transcript:
New Power Chords Introduction
So looking at example three, we've got some new power chords:
- The A chord (which we looked at previously)
- The E5 power chord
- The E power chord
This is really simple.
Understanding the Chords
- The A string (the fifth string) in relation to the open E string is one below.
- To play it:
- Lift up
- Play the open E string
- Take the shape we had for A5 up the A string.
So, we're going up one set of strings. If this was our A5, we take everything up the A string and play:
- The second fret on the A string with the open E on top.
Notes Summary
Here we get the notes:
- E and B (for the E5)
- A and E (for the A5)
We're alternating between the two chords, almost like a zigzag:
- A, E, A, E, and finishing on A as a whole note.
Playing Through the Chords
In bar one:
- We've got the A5 chord in half notes.
In bar two:
- The E5 chord in half notes.
Rhythm Practice
So I'll play that through with you really slowly, trying to think: A and up to the E string, back down to the A.
- Count: 1, 2, 3, 4
- Going up to the E string, down to the A string, up to the E, finishing on the A.
- Count: 1, 2, 3, 4
Visualization Technique
For me, I would be thinking of this more visually than pitch-wise.
- Think: "Okay, I'm going up, down, up, down."
- This describes the route my fingers are taking, rather than just thinking I'm going from an A to an E, an A to an E.
Just at the beginning, it's quite easy to visualize this while you're getting started, and it helps speed up the process a little bit.
Conclusion
So take as much time as you need with that and I'll see you in the backing track to play this riff!
