    Learning Power Chords is one of the most satisfying things to learn on guitar. It's quite easily the voice of rock! Awesome work!

    No one ever mentions distortion and gain overdrive settings when discussing power chords and it leaves my power chords sounding. Wrong.

    Starting at 76, you have made it easier. Than if I had just tried this on my own. (Thanks for that) Played earlier at 9 years old for a year before my guitar disappeared, (Dad). Didn't like the delta Blues I was playing. So thanks buddy for the reintroduction into Guitar.

    @Anthony-pz7tl 8 місяців тому +7

    10yrs ago (when 25) I bought an electric and told myself I would gain a good grasp of guitar / music theory and build up to metal. Well I got bogged down in tab books and chord structures and did all my learning with a clean sound so never got to play with distortion, gain or indeed these power chords. I am going to start again and am going to jump straight into power chords and hopefully build up from there 🎉

    For years, guitar amps were clean with a tiny outage. Then Marshall amps came along and things were never the same again! 😀 From about 1966 onwards, psychedelic, then heavy rock was born.

    Thanks for doing a Power Chord lesson! It would be great if you continue on that road and make another few power chord lessons. Power chords seem relatively easy and even beginners can learn to play them, but definitely some techniques and combinations need to be shown. So looking forward to few new episodes about power chords. Rock on!

  • @chuckk26
    @chuckk26 3 роки тому +6

    Hey Marty, been playing for just over a year and you’re the guy helping me learn. I appreciate the way you teach details. I might ask that you show or tell which strings you are strumming with the chords you teach. Maybe you do on other videos that I haven’t seen but I’ll keep watching! Thanks! Chuck k.

    You got to love power chords. I don’t ever make suggestions, but it would be so cool if you showed how to play “Over the Edge” by the Wipers. There isn’t too many quality videos out there. It’s such a fun rocking song that isn’t too difficult at all.

  • @SuperStrik9
