Here's an easy and fun one to give you a lil' weekend boost!
This rockin' power chord progression provides a solid foundation for some seriously beautiful vocal harmonies via Dan Avidan.
There's a few teachable moments in here:
- ATTN BEGINNERS: I'm using 3 note power chords. In these, you put the octave of the root note on a higher string. If you've only played 2 note power chords before, note that this is a great way to thicken things up a little bit, especially for big energetic moments.
- The feel is in triplets (you can count it like this: 1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a). My strumming pattern is below, I think this feels the best. Because since there's an odd number of notes per beat, if you did straight alternative picking then every other downbeat would land on an upstroke which can be weird sometimes.
1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a

- If you want to take this part to the next level, you can substitute these power chords with barre chords. The chords are Gbmajor, Abmajor, Ebmajor. To demonstrate, I play these chords at one point during the video.
TAB is attached. If you're looking for a crazy challenge, get ready because I'll be putting up a shred lord video in the next few days!
