GUITAR THEORY: The Power Chord

[louis8r]

about 3:15 in to the video I realized how much i don't know...haha loved the vid tho

[igorotvirgo79]

great work man,, tnx

[xDet3rmin4tionx]

I always thought a power chord had the octave added

[KhaarJoon]

@xDet3rmin4tionx same i always knew them as root 5th and octave

[kaychololipop]

Fuckin' google adds -____________-'''

[TheProse15]

pause at 52 sec and when he's playing that chord it looks like he's giving you the finger i know it's immature but i know i'm right

[jerichasmith]

i think ive got almost everything down except the strummng. for some reason its really hard for me to only play 2 or 3 strings :/

[RMN505]

hi! can you give me tips on playing power chords with thumb over?

i see you're playing power chords with thumb over (in the video intro). i kinda picked up that technique since i started playing, and was having second thoughts on switching to thumb-behind-neck while playing power chords (it's gonna be a pain in the ass, i know -.-).

[vampire96blood]

i love you man, one day if i ever get to stardom, i'll visit you. youre one of the reasons why i could keep up with all this riff's i'm doing. btw gratz on the 200th vid keep rockin man, and for some reason i'll just head bang along the heavy metal way \m/.

[farismental]

@vampire96blood Good luck bro. Long live metal!

[MirkoReaper]

with those videos you're teaching me how play guitar =)

[Eruptionzzzz]

What's the harmonic overtone series ?

[kamaboko1]

You may have answered this in a previous video, but what pickups are in that Strat of yours?

[altcraftstudio]

@kamaboko1 ... Just Google, "pickups in andrew wasson's strat."

I was wondering about it too & this Google search took me to his gear page on his website.

[kamaboko1]

@altcraftstudio Thanks. He gets such a big vicious sound of it. I was wondering of they were Dave Murray (Iron Maiden) pickups. I know he has a signature rail type pickup.

[tcrockett0666]

Man he walks it so effortlessly! Me=Jealous

[CircleOfABuse]

[altcraftstudio]

@CircleOfABuse ... YES !

[HurricaneTBag]

For the 200th video the Power Chord was an awesome choice. The core of rock music.

[trhnpc]

congratulations on 200th video:)

[muzicmaster8]

You have a REAL nice clean tone on your setup ! Thanks for the great vids man, you're a true idol :D

[steveo27545]

I think there is more here the power chord become a 5th and the 5th of a 5th,.Message in a bottle for sure. is the Stacked 9 sorry add 9 is the chord, but I would beat every breath I take there's more to this 5tth of a 5th.

Thanks

Andrew!!!!!!!!! Faithful subscriber! Congratz on the 200th episode!

This is something I was really wanting but didn't know what to ask for. Thanks for posting this! You really help my theory by leaps and bounds. I've been with my instructor only 6 months and he considers me one of his top students out of over 200 he has thanks to your very clear videos. My playing is slowly catching up with my theory. Keep posting and thank you so much!

[yootesa1515]

i always lean somthing new from u

[gwizzle1]

could you do a vid about how major and minor E chords can be used in the same progression,thank you for the knowledge

[Jambo363636]

Seriously what can't that Strat do?!?!

[Broyale26]

@Jambo363636

Give a reacharound.

[gorby9POD]

@Jambo363636

It can't do anything' it's an inanimate object. Usually the guitarist does it all.

[Jambo363636]

@gorby9POD True that!

[davidgurdy]

When you say you learned from Randy Rhoads, do you mean you actually played with him...cause that would be absolutely amazing!!

[Kingpin0072001uk]
