    tips on powerchords : the first finger is used to mute every string that is not involved in your powerchord by touching them (without pressing them !), in exemple when playing the second chord in this song (Bb5), your first finger touches the low E string and the B and high E string, so that whatever string you hit when you play the chord (because you can't really aim when you play this kind of riffs !), you won't hear any unwanted string, only your powerchord !

    Great lesson, but it would have helped if you showed your strums at the same time

  • @neuroxik
    @neuroxik 6 лет назад +9

    So many people get this wrong, but there are 4 notes played, not power chords (which consists of only playing the root + 5th + tonic an octave higher, that last one optional) at all. It's *Fsus4* (3rd fret on 3rd string (starting from the bottom) included), *A#* (including that 2nd string, again, starting from the bottom), *G****#sus4* (same shape as 1st), then *C#* (again, including 2nd string). So that would translate to: 1-3-3-3-x-x, x-1-3-3-3-x, 4-6-6-6-x-x, x-4-6-6-6-x.
    Also, your rhythm is not entirely the way he plays it. There are those *quadriple* X's (triple some places), or muted percussive strums, and, and this is something a lot of people don't bother, some 0's (empty strings) here and there. Those might sound negligable but the riff only lasts 4 seconds and a half (if you exclude it's simile repeat), and if you wanna nail 4 seconds into something as recognizable as that huge cult riff, you might as well go the extra mile and add those sparks

    @TheRealSonicYouth im not saying that nirvana was first grunge band - that's obvious that there were many seatlle bands before them, that were later associated with grunge genre. i mean that they gave birth to grunge by naming it. if not nirvana, no one would know what grunge means, it would be just seattle punk or something like that for thsoe who would be interested.
    Kurt and Osourne were good friends actually and played together a lot before grunge-nirvana era.

    Hello, I just saw your vdo. I live in Switzerland. I am 51 years old. When I was 24, I lived with a girlfriend. She looked hallucinatingly like you. I reviewed your vdo. Your change of hairstyles. You have a sosi in Switzerland. I phoned her and we're watching your videos right now. Every hairstyle change...absolutely everything. You will believe me or not, but she is a perfect double or you are a perfect double of a woman in Switzerland. We broke up. We met again 20 years later. We see each other from time to time. I became a boxer until I was 38. I opened a boxing gym. She had a bar. Now she takes care of her daughter.
    Greeting from Switzerland from a former couple who can't believe your vdo.🤩
    Obviously I play the guitar, but my hands are hard and without any flexibility. Boxing and the guitar are not very compatible.
    I also saw your journey. Happy for you.

    @Patrycz4k If you look at any underground music or grunge documentary they explan (most of em do) Nirvana may have been the most popular but that doesnt mean they started it all. The Melvins lead singer Buzz talks about how he was doing it before anybody. (What real grunge was) And now hates it because it became so famous. Grunge was an anti mainstream punk kinda thing.

    • @nataliemiller3897
      @nataliemiller3897 9 лет назад +8

      It might always be a little uncomfortable-after three years of playing, I still get a bit of pain from certain chord shapes or how high up on the neck I am. Plus, the lines never go away. You're inserting pressure on six strings, so if course they'll leave indentions! I mean, say you get comfortable with your foot under the opposite leg... Wouldn't there be a mark once you got up?

    • @InevitableTruth247
      @InevitableTruth247 8 лет назад +7

      It's probably because your fingers arnt dry enough, try rubbing alcohol to dry your fingers, make sure your fingernails are as short as possible, and don't play guitar after getting your hands wet for Atleast an hour otherwise it rips your calluses. This comment so old tho.

    • @Phoenix-ox2jr
      @Phoenix-ox2jr 7 лет назад +1

      Inevitable Truth that's what my dad does. He's been playing since the late 70s / early 80s. He uses baby powder on his fingers. Whenever I play though the skin on my fingers gets ripped to shreds. Not as painful as it used to be, but I destroy my fingers every time I play.

    @Patrycz4k uh no when it was still underground it was called grunge by the locals and some of the bands. Grunge was about to be huge even without Nirvana. Nirvana just made it even bigger. Nirvana wasnt the birth. The Melvins were the first "grunge" band. Ive studdied this for years
