Take your theory chops OVER 9000 with Guitar Super System: bit.ly/G1SS50 or take your technical chops EVEN FURTHER with Modern Rock Guitar Techniques: bit.ly/MODROCK
Oh My God! Tyler you opened up my mind! Man, I have been improving so much. I have now started to know my way around the neck. If you're reading this, Keep shredding! You Rock! All of us together are building a new modern rock era! Tell the kids real music's Back! 🤘
Your lessons have always helped me break out of the box I have been in for years. I have brought a lot of depth to my music. I hope one day we can jam together!
My favorite power chords are very Megdaeth. The first being the chromatic use of the major third, and the second is the spider chord. Which is more of a technique than a chord, but I still think it's a fun way to add excitement to some otherwise lackluster power chords.
Whenever I hear the stacked 5th, I automatically think of Anthrax. Even when you played it, sounded like the intro to Anthrax's Caught in the MOSH, great song
Octave power chord. Major 3rd + octave power chord. Inverted power chord (root + minor 3rd) Diminished power chord (root+flat 5 + octave + another flat 5 octave if you feel crazy)
Shawn for President I watched that too. Never thought of using power chords in that way before. Adding the major 3rd is too big of a stretch for my short fingers though :/
You can definitely get the monster chord tone of JP with mostly stacked 5ths...it makes a 6 string sound like a pseudo 7 too. JP single handidly took my chord and lead playing to the next level.
I think stacked power chords can also be used to play bar chords like in a drop tuning, (barring only the sixth and fifth strings). This is useful for me if I want to play chuggy drop A power chord riffs but still staying at E standard. tuning.
That sus4 power chord is also used in the theme song for Top Gun. Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone". You refer to is as a stacked 5th so now I know another name for it. Thank you for all of your teaching. You rock!
I love the fact that you change guitar for every chord! I think that thats half the fun, different guitar/sound/vibe, adds flavor! And I guess the haters that criticis you for it, is probably jealous :D
Very cool video Tyler! There's is also the "The Edge" Power chord, variant of the EJ one, played on the G and B string (eg 12th and 13th fret), and that you can extend (12th on G, 15th on B)
Love your guitar illustration keep up the good work and keep rocking man !! i have been learning guitar since age 12 and it's little bit hard for me to get know the power chords but im learning acoustic guitar ...
Some power chords that were left out are chords involving a root-third interval, such as playing a major or minor third one string up, or playing a root-5th power chord with the index finger moved one fret down (which is basically an inverted root-3rd), which I call a ".38 Special power chord".
Great video. Two that I'd add are the "D-shaped" power chord and the "C-shaped" power chord. I use the D power chord as much as any of the others. The C power chord is basically the same as the verse from Crazy Train.
Add drop D tunning and you have every Tool song ever created lol. I ended up moving these shapes around and came out with Lateralus and Jambi. Rock on Tyler!
SchwartzerAdler I’m not sure if I’m correct but I think it’s the lack of the 3rd of the chord, which removes any major and minor. Either that or the ability to use the same chord shape all around most of the guitar on standard tuning.
Power chord is basically a triad with the 3rd ommited. They are often called 5 chords because usually it's a root 5th and octave. You can add other intervals just not the 3rd.
Yea I think it’s because the 5th is dominant, so usually gives neither a Major or minor sound when used between the octave and root. Correct me if i’m wrong aha
Always love your vids really enjoyed this one though knowing how most of these songs or genres sound I guess I’ve never really thought about how these change tone It will be hard not to visualize them now when I hear these tones Most excellent :D ty

Music is Win you should do an all power chord song!
Sick t-shirt tyler love it!
Hey Tyler. I know that you’re a huge PRS fan. What do you think of the CE24?
Achieve the level of Super Shredjin 3!
What the hell all power chords are the same
Best thumbnail so far!!

Solomon Konwar That’s the attitude man
Yes it truly is 😂
What defines real music though?

indeed
Hey Tyler, I want to tell you that thanks to you I have taken my guitar again to practice and not just play random things
Do i need a different guitar for a different power chord?
Well spotted, I noticed it wasn't really explained properly in the video but most definitely, you'll come into difficulties later on if not.
I have 2 so I can play 2 different power chords, my life is changing so fast
Hence the Fender 9 neck power chord monster at Namm 2018! Future thinking right there!
You need a short scale shredder with a paper thin neck to play the add 9 chord anyways
Lonely Child what hahaha no you don't. what convinced you of this? This is easily achieved on big fat fender necks with a standard scale.
Do u use all those guitars to mock me?
Your lessons have always helped me break out of the box I have been in for years. I have brought a lot of depth to my music. I hope one day we can jam together!
Thanks a lot! I'm gonna use these in the Tournament of Power when I'm fighting Yamcha.
bought your guitar super system level 1. so far so good
How muchwas it?
29.99 CAD
so what

I'm so glad you mentioned Incubus with the stacked 5th. That type of sound made me want to play guitar, especially with Pardon Me. That and AC/DC.
Whenever I hear the stacked 5th, I automatically think of Anthrax. Even when you played it, sounded like the intro to Anthrax's Caught in the MOSH, great song
This was fun and informative. I loved how you referenced familiar songs and then jammed using the cords. Good job.
This is the ultimate video about power chords I was looking for. Simply amazing dude, really helpful
Octave power chord.
Major 3rd + octave power chord.
Inverted power chord (root + minor 3rd)
Diminished power chord (root+flat 5 + octave + another flat 5 octave if you feel crazy)
Meshuggapeth I see you on nik’s channel too😂
There is no such thing as a major 4th only perfect, augmented or diminished.
This is so great for someone who's stuck in a rut composing similar riffs ... This will help add so much flavour ! Thanks Tyler
Definitely going to have fun with the EJ power Chord shown at the end love that sound 😊
Very informative, I was tired of just using the basic with the higher octave root, this is a lot to work with.
Thanks for the awesome tip! I knew many of these power chords, but that add9 power chord was definitely new for me. Many thanks! Keep rocking dude.
His power chord level is over 9000!!!!!
John petrucci just had a video where he talks about the add 9 and how it was his take on a meaty power chord instead of a bar chord.
Shawn for President I watched that too. Never thought of using power chords in that way before. Adding the major 3rd is too big of a stretch for my short fingers though :/
You can definitely get the monster chord tone of JP with mostly stacked 5ths...it makes a 6 string sound like a pseudo 7 too. JP single handidly took my chord and lead playing to the next level.
Great vid Tyler! Been a player for 20 years and you just taught me a thing or two, thanks!
Have y’all ever tried to cover three strings with a finger and play them most metal power cord I ever heard!!!
Dig your vids, man. Some of them are quirky and fun, but you're also a very good teacher. Thanks for your channel.
I came for Goku stayed for guitar, thats that's a powerful combo!
Talking about efficiency... SSJ3 is not exactly the most efficient form as it drains one's stamina very fast.
This is the power chord video I've been looking for, for quite some time now. Thanks!
Power chord level over 9000
awesome different power Cordes been playing for 10 years wow thank you!
*_Pigs can sniff out truffles with their snouts._*
WUT DA BUTT
Great lesson Tyler, keep up the good work man!
Wow! Love the stacked 5th powerchord! Sounds very chunky!
ive been playing guitar for 35 years and never had as much gear as you. I really like some of your solo lines and improvs good stuff
I think stacked power chords can also be used to play bar chords like in a drop tuning, (barring only the sixth and fifth strings). This is useful for me if I want to play chuggy drop A power chord riffs but still staying at E standard. tuning.
One of the most musical examples of the add9 power chord is Buckethead's song "Siege Engine"
Great instruction & playing!
Thanks Tyler for this amazing power chord lesson.
Dude i was just looking up power chords for songs and you uploaded this right when i needed it
That sus4 power chord is also used in the theme song for Top Gun. Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone". You refer to is as a stacked 5th so now I know another name for it. Thank you for all of your teaching. You rock!
Depends on the musical context that you use it. I guess you could think of an inversion of a normal powerchord, or a sus4, like you said.
Why'd you use goku
Edwin Samuel because POWER
Edwin Samuel Cuz Yamcha is too powerfull to be in the tumbnail
Why not?
galahad38 you know it's clickbait cause he used ss4 form and not ssgb form
Camgrow red yep so powerful that we couldn't even detect this coming
Really great lesson, thanks Tyler! Loving GSS and the Modern Rock Techniques too. Love your work!
Cool lesson Tyler. Glad you broke out your Strat and Dano.
Thank you so much Tyler ! It will make me try so much different ways of music writing
Thank You Sooooo much, keep up the good word and have a nice week.!
Great! Going to work on those Hendrix and EJ PChords for sure!
Nice! Some new techniques to learn and add to my repertoire.
enjoyed that. So many other things to use, ive always just used the first two.
I love the fact that you change guitar for every chord! I think that thats half the fun, different guitar/sound/vibe, adds flavor! And I guess the haters that criticis you for it, is probably jealous :D
Thanks a lot man, you showed me other types of Powerchords very useful for metal
Very cool video Tyler! There's is also the "The Edge" Power chord, variant of the EJ one, played on the G and B string (eg 12th and 13th fret), and that you can extend (12th on G, 15th on B)
Love your guitar illustration keep up the good work and keep rocking man !! i have been learning guitar since age 12 and it's little bit hard for me to get know the power chords but im learning acoustic guitar ...
wow definitely ADD9 and STACKED 5TH are my favorites, so prog and heavy!!
great job i was just wondering about power chords
I saw 2 things in the thumbnail, guitar and goku. I'm sold
Some power chords that were left out are chords involving a root-third interval, such as playing a major or minor third one string up, or playing a root-5th power chord with the index finger moved one fret down (which is basically an inverted root-3rd), which I call a ".38 Special power chord".
You just made my 7 string feel like a 10. Open Chords are the future
Wow, you’ve just unleashed the power of power chords for me!
not only is this good for guitar players, it is very good for bass players who want to boost power chords with they're bass lines thank you!
Thanks for this video. I didn't learn anything knew but you are entertaining, so it's a win.
Great man, been playing same 2 types for ages. Now I'll give those others a whirl 🤘
Bought your guitar super system 1 and 2 and your modern rock. But im still on guitar super system 1. So far so good
For me, this video was very helpful. Thanks a lot!
great lesson thank u so much, for share it.
Thanks. Another great video. Your channel is the best channel for theory learning!
Show us your synths that are laying back there on your desk! Would really like to know what models you got there!
Awesome, thank you
I like the "Brian May" power chord (root, fifth, third). It adds colour but still has that raw simple sound of a power chord.
Love the Danelectro guitars!
Fantastic Video. Great Job Tyler....thanks. Nice PRS’s. Just got me a 408 👍
I'm a simple man, I see a tumbnail of goku playing a guitar, i click the video and then realize its Music Is Win!
Tyler, you're awesome!
Great video, much appreciated.
Very nice. You can hear the sound of a C# Maj Add 9 in Van Halen's 5150.
Thank you! Thank you!
This is the best thumbnail ever.
Ight you got me with the ss3 Goku thumbnail. Subbed.
Wow! This video is extremely useful in helping us write better rock music!
Great video. Two that I'd add are the "D-shaped" power chord and the "C-shaped" power chord. I use the D power chord as much as any of the others. The C power chord is basically the same as the verse from Crazy Train.
Neat music room!
Thanks! I got a couple new ideas from this
cool ! PRS sound super !
That thumbnail though...
It Got me.
I always thought of the "stacked fifth" as a 4th octave.
Super Saiyan 3 Goku and Guitar....Tyler has the best clickbaits
Great stuff thanks Man.
That stacked 5th sounds like what Godsmack uses a lot
Add drop D tunning and you have every Tool song ever created lol. I ended up moving these shapes around and came out with Lateralus and Jambi. Rock on Tyler!
best example of the add 9 power chord in a fairly popular metal song is Floods by Pantera. Dime uses it in the main riff, and the epic beginning solo
Rocking brother
What exactly makes a power chord a power chord in the first place? Is it just this combibation of root and fifth?
SchwartzerAdler I think so
SchwartzerAdler I’m not sure if I’m correct but I think it’s the lack of the 3rd of the chord, which removes any major and minor. Either that or the ability to use the same chord shape all around most of the guitar on standard tuning.
Power chord is basically a triad with the 3rd ommited. They are often called 5 chords because usually it's a root 5th and octave. You can add other intervals just not the 3rd.
Yea I think it’s because the 5th is dominant, so usually gives neither a Major or minor sound when used between the octave and root. Correct me if i’m wrong aha
Adi Adi you are correct the 5 is dominant so it doesn't lean towards minor or major it stands in its own hence called dominant
Thank you mate! Needed some new power chords :D
Jack white uses a special power chord in fell in love with a girl that goes 2nd fret A string,4th fret D,G and b string
Green day joined the server
Yep was gonna say the same thing kings of power chords
What a bunch of Riff Raff
Always good for a laugh
Always love your vids really enjoyed this one though knowing how most of these songs or genres sound I guess I’ve never really thought about how these change tone
It will be hard not to visualize them now when I hear these tones
Most excellent :D ty
Quite helpful 🙌🙌🙌
Is every RUclips guitar person being given danelectro guitars to show around in videos now?
Marcel Riemer Tyler bought that guitar himself, I think because it was based off of one of SRV's guitars
Marcel Riemer sounds like shit imo , blue PRS sounds good
They are cheap as all hell and they have a really clear and clean tone. Great for demonstrating chords, etc.
At times I play the stacked 5th on the 4 lighter strings cuts through pretty good.
Super Saiyan 3 with E-guitar in thumbnail.
That's not fair.
