In this lesson

  • Learn how to strip out the harmonic backbone of chords to easily move around the fretboard and put chords together with just 3 fingers. Play it on an electric guitar with distortion or overdrive, and now you’re cookin’ with gas.

  • I am lucky enough to have actually seen Nirvana play live at my very first concert. Hear the story and learn how to put power chords into practice. Looking for something more updated? Use this same chord technique to play Bastille’s recent hit, Pompeii.

  • Change your strings! The cleaner the strings, the better the sound. Also consider what gage your strings should be.
