Guitar Chord Theory - Expanding Power Chords

[RandyJM21]

Im not a total novice, however I have 0 understanding of theory and I got quite a bit out of that. Especially the idea of playing the power chord like a bar chord but muting the three higher strings. Ive probably been doing it at times without fully even realizing it. Anyway, awesome video that has all the theory that is latin to me but still worthwhile for me. I generally dont get much from You tube guitar vids. So thanks and nice teaching style. Im gonna practice the double string picking too.

A is 7th fret third string. You say fourth by mistake, which is D.

Man that things got some pretty noticeable fret rattle.

but if the fifth ocatave isn't the same as the key rough is it still a g major?

[AppleFender]

You reimind me about Roniie Le Tekrø:D

[aarontomberlin]

yup you are right. but in power chords there are no 3rd. just a 1 and a 5. so im just trying to explain what note im adding in "genericly" i guess. you could imagine having this conversation with someone who doesnt know a bit of theory? haha. thats why im very generic on here.

[thelordofdarkcheese]

that so called G9 where he added an A is actually a Gsus2. a true G9 has the formula 1 3 5 flat7 9.

[aarontomberlin]

the true formula for a Gsus2 is a 1-2-5.... like a Gsus4 is a 1-4-5.... the reason for calling the chord in the video a G9 is for number system and scale purposes. which the note i am adding is the 9th tone from the root, a 1-5-9... not a 1-2-5. a 1-3-5 flat7 and 9 is usually a jazz chord seeing how the flat7 would make it dominant which this video is not discussing. this video is simply practical industry number system which is clearly pointed out. thanks for discussing!

[thelordofdarkcheese]

true but to generally to reach up to nine you have to follow the rule of stacking thirds such as with the sus2 you build a major and then alter the second stacked third down to a two instead of a three

2:33 kind of sounds like wendy clear by blink 182
