A song with cool power chords
I bet a lot of guitarists started out on electric guitar by practicing a song that’s packed with power chords, right?
As many of you probably know, a power chord is made by stripping notes from a standard chord and playing just the root and the fifth.
Because of that simplification, you get a punchier sound that’s perfect for distorted rock—super cool tone!
And when you play power chords with a palm mute, it really feels like you’re playing a bona fide rock track—it sounds awesome.
In this article, I’ll introduce some cool songs that feature power chords.
I think it’ll also help beginners find great songs to practice!
