How To Use Power Chords - Rhythm Guitar Lesson #3

Ready to level up your playing? Enjoy your free 7-day trial to Guitareo! 🔥🎸

This is video three of the Rhythm Guitar Quick-Start Series. In this lesson, you will learn how to move the power chord shapes from the last lesson all around the fretboard to play any power chord you want. This way, if a bandmate, friend you're playing with, or even sheet music calls for you to play a specific power chord - you'll be able to move right to that chord.

In order to do this effectively, you'll need to learn the note names on the sixth and fifth guitar strings. It may take some time to accomplish this, but that's ok. By working on your power chords through this lesson, and the rest of the series, you'll start to memorize them over time.

[tylerberry]

Amazing teacher! Thank you so much. Been lookin all over for something like this

[philtaylor]

It's a long time since you recorded these but they absolutely brilliant done.

[choochoochooseyou]

Nate, this is excellent. All the other vids I've found so far are given by egomaniacs who just want to skip through the info so that they can show you how they shred at the end.

I finally feel I have the same quality of guitar lessons like I used to get with a 1to1 teacher. Great channel and teacher.

[ravinderpalthya]

Best channel ever

This contributor's approach is just awesome. Re-learning again after years and he just does a great job of hitting on the subject and hinting on what's in the future. Video may not have been put out this week, but is still up to date, thank you!

[stefanagha]

I always read comments about people having ‘click’ moments. After a couple years playing now I just had one! Great lesson :) Subbed! Thank you.

I can't believe how simple this is! I put off learning power chords and the note placements for ages but now I realise how simple they are! Thank You

[kpmuad]

Damn dude, had to log in just to leave a like. This was the best video I've found so far on the subject and you explained it really well.

Guitareo is the best youtube channel to learn guitar

[jeramimachado]

Bravo brother! Hands down the best instructional videos on YouTube. Iv learned so much from Nate.

[juliodefreitas]

Great video and thanks for sharing your tips 👍

[blueskygal]

Nate I really appreciate your ability to break it down to the basics. I have another older course and it throws in octave shapes, chord shapes, etc. it's just a lot of stuff all at once. This is easier for me as you just get the skelton and get some confidence playing right off the bat. Thanks!

[eliahmorris]

Great vid btw :) You are an incredible resource and an inspiration. Your currently my teacher because my mom cant afford to get me lessons. I am so appreciative :)

[MusoraOfficial]

Hey Jack Gowen, I find myself doing this from time to time as well. It depends on what I'm playing. I think it's good to be able to play the power chord shapes both ways.

[TheHomieTico]

this videos are awesome so far i learned a lot and i only have like 30 minutes watching it thanks a lot !

[mikek]

I just wanted to say thank you for these videos. Your a great teacher! I have learned so much. Once again, thanks.

This a great lesson! You're right, sliding up and down E root power chords is inefficient and is tough to play up to speed. Switching to an A root chord is essential but it is hard to mute that E string while doing so.
