Jason Ho, Lesson 3: Power chords

Hi all,

It is essential to get the fundamentals right. Once the fundamentals are established, it is easier for a player to soar like an eagle withina short period of time. This week I've focused on a rather fundamental subject of Power Chords. This is a technique of playing chords that electric guitarist use to play chords that are clean with a cutting sound. Looks kinda cool when played in a progression too :)

Here's a short video of myself explaining to my student about the 4 ways to play an A5 power chord.

Enjoy!

Things to note:
- an important ingredient to a clean power chord sound is the muting of the unwanted strings. Do check out how I employed my index finger to do just that.
