You can get some pretty rockin' sounds out of your guitar by playing simple power chords. Let's get familiar with the shape of a guitar power chords chart...


Your Left Hand: You can use two, or three fingers to 'fret' power chords. You'll place your index finger on the root note.

For example: If you want to play a G power chord, your index finger goes on a G note (3rd fret of your thickest string). You'll place your ring finger two frets ahead of your index finger. If you choose to add in your smallest finger, it will go one string below your ring finger (on the same fret as your ring finger).


Your Right Hand: Strum quickly. Your goal is to make the notes in the chord sound like one, single, powerful note.

In some cases, you may want to use a 'palm mute' technique when playing these power chords. You can use the outside part of your right palm to lightly cover your guitar strings. Be careful when doing this. Make sure that the outside edge of your strumming palm is lined up with the bridge of your guitar (where your strings begin).
