Dang!! Thanks for checking me, y’all! I’ve done so many lessons teaching triads that it leaked into my brain and I clearly misspoke about the power chords, my bad! What I MEANT to say was “root, fifth, octave” 😅 - Eddie
Thank you for realizing this and correcting it! I was mad confused because I know the root note in a “A” shaped chord is on the A and G string, but you had me double checking lol
Bro, when you did that vibrato with the C note in the first example I immediately remembered that I definitely heard a song that starts like that. Had to spend 10-15 minutes to finally find that it's Sigh on a hurricane by HIMALAYAS
I stumbled upon this back in the early 90's. Basically, I would play bar chords below the E string, but instead of muting the E string, I would add it to the bar chord. Some of my friends would say, "What is that?", "That's not a chord.", etc. I thought it made an interesting sound. I must be ahead of my time.
@@tose5566 sure, he already pinned it at the top of the comments after owning up to his slip of the tongue. The notes he listed are not the Root (C) 3rd (E) and 5th (G). The notes that were listed on screen were actually the Root (C) 5th (G) and the Octave note of the scale (also C, just higher pitched) There is no third played in a power chord. If he were adding the third to a C power chord, then his chord would include the E note, which wouldn’t be correct. Hope this helps!
@@tose5566a power cord is a root and a fifth there's no third, a third makes it a major or minor chord. An inverted power chord has the fifth in the bass.

No problem. All guitarists made/make mistakes.
We still love you Eddie 🤣
Ohhh.. I wish I would have read this before my comment. Lol. It was driving me crazy. Makes me feel better. Sorry about my aggressive comment 😬

When doing this shape dropped I call it a super power chord. Root- fifth-fifth
In drop tuning this exact shape starting from the low e string would result in root-fifth-second-fifth, basically a sus2 chord.
I remember discovering inversions. Unlocked a whole new world of playing.
The trick to playing Song 2 accurately is using this technique.
Thanks
Awesome. Shred on.😃👍❤️🔥⚡️🎶🎸
Oh yeah!
Love GMM!!.. Thanks for the lesson.
What a simple but great video. Subscribed.
Your stuff is always so cool
Great idea 💡
Crunchy!
I learned this concept from Weezer and Green Day, also Saves the Day. Then I discovered drop D. Two totally different sounds, both equally ROCK
luv it

Thank you, bro!!
Root 5th octave
Or even better Drop D, love thrash so love lower tuning, still learning though, but i love to just make alot of noise 😂
Smashing pumpkins did that trick alot
WOAH
Root, third, fifth, that's wrong
care to explain then?

Cool
Erm that’s root, 5th, octave. C5
Bon jovi - it's my life is playing the exact same chord
Yooo that sounded like the end of better strangers by royal blood at a certain point
Isn't that called a stacked power chord?
Why did the first chord with 2 of the same notes sound like it's my life from bon jovi?
Power chords have no third ussualy, otherwise you would call it a triad. Also your third is a fifth and the fifth is an octave.
