Primary Guitar: Day 56 - Basic Power Chords Part I

Day 56

Basic Power Chord Part I

First Power Chords

Since you have already covered two basic forms of the bar chord on Day 30 and Day 32, you will repeat the process today under the banner of Power Chords.

Power chords and bar chords can be one and the same when it comes to the guitar. In fact, most power chords involve some form of a barred sequence of strings, so just be aware that even though you are seeing some of the same chords, you want to be aware of how they apply to both categories.

Hence the chords themselves will be little more than review, but they are your most basic and most important power chords.

These two chords are both classified as power chords. You will use to same approach and same practice regiment, so brush up on these to prepare for the next couple days where we will be tackling some power chords you might not be as familiar with.
