Power Chords

Power chords are the basis of some of the best heavy metal and punk rock music. They are a great way to construct the rhythm of a powerful song. For a chunky, fuller feel, simply put your pointer finger down on the root note, and your ring finger seven steps higher.

Mixing power chords with lead guitar is a great way to construct a diverse song with a strong sense of variety. Throw on some heavy distortion, and you can create some strong sounds that go great with some progressive soloing on top.

Play around with some power chords combos and feel free to leave any good riffs that you come up with or any songs that have great power chord progressions.
