[ipkedupker]

lol when i see these im trying to learn REAL heavy metal... something alnog the lines of suicide silence... for example, i can play thyis standard stuff... but im tryin to learn some things using a dropped tunings... im in drop A (from thickest to thinnest.... A,E,A,D,F#,B) you should give a lesson on that, and by the way, i got higher guage strings so i cant really tune to standard anymore... i pop a string on pinch harmonics, use guage 9-36 im pretty sure (a 7 string set w/o the thinnest)

[kevNchris445]

nice, good lesson i can do it easy now. im 15 and i play everyday for about 5 or more hours learning

[Wdbjr12345]

[whammydoom]

is this david?

[patrickbhn]

it sounds funny when he say down down up down up things but WTF! this guy is amazing to learn away from him^^

[FilthyInsomniac]

Other then power chords or 5ths what other kind of chords can be played with a lot of distortion and high gain settings?

[choudhurymaster]

cool lesson but if they are heavy metal chords arent you suppose to have super distortion, maybe your trying to show the tonal qualities of the chords but you could have shown the audience what that sounds like with super mesa boogie triple rectifier like sound behind the signal, apart from that minute groan that was an awesome lesson

[666lespaul666]

realy good lesson. Please up more lessons like this ^^. Hello from Spain, barcelona!

[joshrocks4178]

yeh most punk bands music is dominated by power chords, some heavy metal bands use the power chords, sept i think tht most modern heavy medal bands drop the E string.

[kevyp12]

yeah, they drop it to C

[mikeyFear0n]

1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4, the 2 and the 2 and the 3 and the 4!! dave can count :D love ya really dave!! nice lesson

[67845connor]

smells like teen spirit by nirvana is a good power chord practice if you like that type of music

[jernov]

or any greenday/punk rock bands in general :p

[bigrock007]

Or any Black Sabbath Songs

[mickdee06]

yeah that's good advice

[keanoscarermitano619]

The most effective way of practicing power chords are AC/DC's songs. All of them ar power chords so you can practice it there.

[theozzman91]

black sabbaths a good one too

[Greenday134]

blink 182 too

[XtremeRockerRambo]

i know dats a fender strat, but what kinda strat and what pick ups does it have?

rock on david! u rule!

[YamiEthi]

I have a problem... my guitar is too heavy (Epiphone Les Paul Ebony) and every time I hold it my legs start getting numb... that's why I haven't played electric for a while now :((( any advice?

[mrhanky89]

play sitting down...

[Ibbod0]

Just keep playing, you'll get used to it.

Maybe play for shorter periods of time until its easier.

[Ibbod0]

Oh, are you playing sitting?

Try standing and playing if so.

[rockhard90s]

what is your weight? are you too young?

[93652]

you must have little legs:) use a strap and pull it so the body is barley touching your legs or sell it and buy diffrent guitar

[MyFatCatIsOld]

Work out

[eqpp]

keep moving a bit while u play it.....

[500passwords]

wear a strap and sit up straight or stand up.

[jakenfriedlove]

how heavy are they? i know the TB is super heavy, because i have one, its like 15 pounds

[jernov]

Get an epiphone G-400 or something, SG models are light ^^

[TechnoLife120]

holy crap, u got a new strat david? how many guitars do u have man. and that strat sounds pretty sweet

[paathimself]

"clarity. never sacrifice that for speed."

totally, dude. lol

[lilfisticuffs]

i dont see how some people just try to play fast...alot of times they sound sooooo sloppy

[bigslickak89]

because those are the people that want to look cool instead of the people that play for the love of music

[M0G9Z]

nice lesson

[mamaskidmark]

this lesson brings back lots of memories of learning guitar using your website. this website really does work i learned solely from this website and now im lead guitar in a band

[Stratomacaster]

Another solid video.  Thanks Dave.

So... What's under the hat Dave?

[imbarisaxy]

[rollershoer4life]

[JesseSHS]

[bloobloop13]

omg me too, haha

i was like, no fucking way!

[umpalumpa101909]

hehe lol

[sangolt88]

Is all powerchords played with only the three bass-notes?

[xXxMATADORxXxBR]

the bassnote, dominant and subdominant. 1 4 and 5

[jernov]

Nope.

mostly with the root on the E string (E, A, and D strings)

they're also played with the root on the A string, (A, D, and G strings)

[Bluestopsign]

is that a corvus in the background?

[knox8705]

its an ovation breadwinnner

[xXxMATADORxXxBR]

ovation breadwinner exotic!

[JackAwful]

Shucks. I thought you were giving away an electric guitar. But thanks for the lessons anyway...I always need new tips.

[elementcs13]

Great Video!

[bbbobbbieo]

his guitar sounds very twangy

[Leviskardsen]

It's because his Strat has a maple fingerboard. That plus the single coils creates a rather twangy tone. A guitar like that is perfect for blues.

[paddycake5201]

you guys are so awesome for doing this.

some of us can't afford lessions,and this really helps.thank you.you rock.....Patrick

[ludaboy123]

Awesome man

[GlennToreHM]
