Learn Best Chords For Guitars

Posted by Joe Rosales

The first time I picked up a guitar my whole life changed.

Even the same model, made in the same year, with sequential serial numbers, are going to play & sound different. they have their own personalities, their own feel & their own mood swings.

Do you have a passion for playing as well?

Power Chords

Power chords are two or three string distorted sounding chords used in some of the most popular rock songs of all times. You will learn to play several rock songs during the first few lessons of this module. Afterwards you will be very familiar with the fretboard and surprise yourself with the sounds you will be able to play.

If you seriously want to learn to play rock guitar, don’t get frustrated or discouraged if you’re not playing the way you would like to at the beginning. If you enjoy playing, the progress will come at some point. Find a guitar teacher you communicate well with, design a workable schedule to practice and, most importantly, try to have fun while you’re learning.

In other words:

E Major Chord:
Place the middle finger on the 2nd fret and 5th string
Then place the ring finger on the 2nd fret and 4th string
Next place the index finger on the 1st fret and 3rd string.
Then strum all the strings.

D Major chord:
Place the index finger on the 2nd fret and 3rd string
Then place the ring finger on 3rd fret and 2nd string.
Next place the middle finger on the 2nd fret and 1st string.
Start with the 4th string and strum the notes down.

A Major chord:
Place your index finger down on the second fret on the 4th string.
Then place your middle finger down on the second fret on the 3rd string.
Next place your ring finger on the second fret on the second string.
beginning with the 5th string, strum the strings except do not play the sixth string.

To put it bluntly – you must set goals!

The Right Fit No Matter the Age
It does not matter if this pick will be used by someone who is six-years old or sixty-years old, the Planet Waves Standard guitar pick will be just what the doctor ordered. The pearl finish is attractive enough for kids to want to use, thick enough not to snap when used on electric guitars, and thin enough not to muddle the sound of the strings.

Why a Medium Guitar Pick?
A medium guitar pick is 0.73–0.81 mm or 0.028–0.031 inches thick. When playing rock or heavier music, or while playing electric guitar with hi-gain amplification or distortion, thinner picks produce muddier, less precise, less controlled sound while thicker picks produce more specific, more controlled and well-shaped tone. Thinner picks also tend to rip or tear more often if used too forcefully, whereas a thicker one is less likely to wear down. Thicker picks are generally used in more discrete genres, such as heavy metal or power metal.

Comes in a 10-pack of assorted pearlized colors.

Celluloid, Historically Speaking
Invented in 1856, celluloid is considered the first invented thermoplastic. This was the first plastic ever used to produce picks, and it is still used today--especially for guitarists aiming for vintage tone. Celluloid is easily molded and shaped, and it was first widely used as an ivory replacement. Easy to manufacture, easy to produce, celluloid is the favored pick of guitarists around the world.
