Hi, this is Steven.
We're looking at
Power I want to say power chords actually it's really an alternative to power chords for electric guitar and what we're doing is we're playing three string
Chords on that are really voicings for kind of lead electric playing although for you rhythm players
You can basically slide these anywhere on the fretboard and kind of get some lower
Tones going if that's what you need to do
But if you look at what I'm doing
Basically, it's a [A] one five one
I'm actually playing on the the D string seventh fret
G string ninth fret and
And B string tenth fret
I'm playing an a here open a and if you if you think about it, [E] this is really the [D] same as playing
If you pretend my finger is the end of the the nut there
It's just taking that shape [D#] and sliding it up so you can slide this anywhere you want
[E] [F] [F#] [G]
[G#] [A] Okay, you can take this take this shape anywhere what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you a one
Four five six chord progression within this and show you a couple different ways.
You can play those chords
[A#m] Okay, [A] so the one you can play off a four by simply you notice my fingers flattened here
Letting go of this [Dm] finger
That's a four now notice.
I'm also
Muting the top E string as well as kind of [N] pushing my finger against this a string to keep it from ringing out just in
Case I'm not strumming accurately
So you don't want to hear those strings.
So
This [A] is the one again
Again lift this up to play a four
[D] Okay, really cool thing about this.
You can slide this up
Just take this shape slide it up [E] two frets and this is now your five
back to your [D] four
back to [A] your one Okay
If you think about it, the really cool thing about these shapes are they're not minor or major
So you can you can use them.
You don't need to know if it's a minor quarter or major chord
You can just slide it there.
It'll work
Let me let me go back to this real quick, I'll show you a real quick way to play the minor six
Probably the easiest way and then show you the way that I really prefer.
So let's go back to this [D] one
[Em] four
Five and then you can do you know [F#] logically go up two more
To play a six.
[E] Okay five [D] four
[A] Okay, you see me put my finger over sometimes.
I'm trying to mute off mute these other strings just kind of
Kind of muting all over with with this finger
So in this shape there's another way to play a five there's also another way to play [F] a
Four [G#m]
and I'll show [A] you those real quick so [Am] to play
The minor six you just put this [F#m] finger here
that's a very difficult I shouldn't say very difficult, but
Honestly live playing this is not the easiest.
So what I end up doing is not playing this string and just muting
Mute that's
Okay, I [Am] prefer that to going way up here with the minor chord
[F#m] And [G] end up just kind of muting that string
then for a five
Again, [A] here's my one
You just move this [E] finger down and this one comes down one here
And again, you're muting this middle string the D string
Okay, [A] so that's a that's a five
If you're [E] playing an A, this would be a five
[A] Back to the one.
Okay.
So let me show you real quickly these shapes and then
Just kind of in use so mighty to save in the key of a would sound like this Okay
[E]
[D] [A] [F#m] [E]
[A] Before we're done.
I just want to show you one more thing
If you think about it [G] kind of a little bit into the theory
maybe the circle of fifths or something like that kind of far above above my real understanding, but
You can actually take these shapes and start this could be your [E] one shape Say you're
This is actually an E say you're playing the key of E
You could actually play this shape as your one and then use the other chords
And they would really turn into your four and five so you could start on a song like this
[A] This [Bm] would be your five [A] and this beer for [E] this beer one
Same kind of idea you could take this chord the one where you're flattening which I had showed you as a four
This would be a [D] D chord
[A]
[G] [Dm]
I
So I hope that's helpful once you once you figure out where all these chords are all over the neck it really opens things up
I find them very very useful to playing and really for lead guitar playing
It really fills in a frequency and a voicing that that
