    That Seven Nation Army riff using the power chords is a great exercise not only to learn the power chords, but to transition from the 10th fret to the second fret so quickly is difficult because not only are your hands moving up and down, but your fingers are coming closer together and farther apart depending on the direction you go. Educational, challenging, but fun! Great work Justin!

    Really enjoying getting in to power cords Justin, I’m a retired old guy (66) living the dream in Thailand, and up untill recently, stuck with the basic open cords forever ☹️.
    I tended to play around with the guitar for a few weeks, then i might pick it up for 5 min every 6 months or so, mostly because I was bored of strumming c d g a f etc, and hadn’t come across a teacher like you.
    Power cords 🎸🎼have got me in to jamming my new LP/ Yamaha thr10 with tons of great songs thanks to you Justin.
    As others have said, your a great teacher, who doesn’t race through a lesson, or try to show off.
    You have an easy going positive vibe, and a sympathetic understanding of the people learning these lessons.
    Hey If I can offer a cheeky cool suggestion😎…if you don’t like baseball caps, I think you would really suit the 1920 Peaky blinder style cap, worn at a jaunty angle 🎸🎼🙏

    Hi Justin. I was listening to Rob Chapman recently and something he often says is, use these lessons as a resource but dipping in and out when needed. I first came across this recording of yours, some months ago, but having learned a little more since, have returned and feel it is more aligned with where I am as a student, so probably also worth emphasising - you can't learn it all in one go. Thank you for all these great lessons

    Hey Justin. I started out with your modules on the website and learned so much. I was watching the instructions for bar chords [sp?] and noticed the caveat for learning power chords first. So I have some beginner knowledge and can make the big bar chord shape but decided to move back to power chords. I learned Smoke on the water and just watched this lesson. I'm heading back to the website to learn all I can about power chords. Thanks again for sharing your experience and wisdom.

    Hello Justin, your course is just amazing it's been 4 months now that i started guitar and i'm improving day by day thanks to you.
    I just wanted to share a QUICK TIP that i learned through my practice session: if you re struggling with a chord shape or a chord change or a song or anything, just practice it hard like for a week or more and when you feel frustrated just stop and move to something else, come back to it after a week or so you will find that you improved drastically at it or just mastered it.
    i think that process gives your brain a time to rest toward that specific exercise and solidify your mind muscle connection to perform it.
    like the gym basically u need to to have rest periods in between the sessions.
    I'm not sure if it's really a thing but it works for me, hope this will help you guys as well.

      i've been playing about 18 months now and doing great but i've learnt that for me there is not much payback in practicing the same thing for any more than half an hour to an hour max. after that length of time my progress slows to the point of being totally unproductive but coming back fresh the next day it's like i've been practicing in my sleep and the progress comes quick. i'm ok putting in long sessions but i have to break it up into varying different exercises no longer than what i previously mentioned. i'm sure everyone is different but i'd suggest anyone with a similar problem to me tries the same. it's actually staggering to me how much you can improve a skill with small amounts of effort so long as you are consistent putting those small efforts in.

    I am back to try again. Your open chords lessons got me in a regular gig with a band playing 12-string rhythm in an all-acoustic band 10 years ago. Often though when we did our covers I would have to watch the other guys play while all I could do was tap the beat out on the face of my guitar because I could not play barre chords. My problem was not in making the shapes, or getting all of the notes to ring clean on F-shape chords. My problem was hand cramps. I have long arms and a wide chest, my wrist would be bent at a full 90 degrees and after 30 minutes I couldn't even hold the neck of my guitar due to a hand cramp. Problem finally solved! I have turned the guitar so that the neck is next to my cheek, (like a classical guitar player). Now I can play for much longer periods. Needed to share with my peers here.

    Your videos make me so homesick because of your accent -- but I also learn a lot, so they're kinda bittersweet haha.
