Drop D Tuning

The power chord is not really a chord at all as far as the definition of a chord is concerned.  A chord is defined as 3 or more notes however a power chord can be just two.  A power chord consists of the root (name of power chord) and a perfect 5th higher.

Let's start by playing just an A power chord (A5) and working on the main rhythm we see throughout the song.

Measure 1

Now we will add the F power chord (F5) on beat 3.

Learn Songs.  Have Fun.  Be Amazing.

The Ultimate Guitar Method Guaranteed to Make You Great, Fast

Learning songs is not the only part of learning to play guitar but it is certainly a fun one 🙂 However, knowing what song to play next, at your current level, is not always easy.

Become a member and get access to a complete step by step guitar method that will take the guess work out of what song to play next to see real progress and results that will make you feel great!

Hi, my name is Teague. 🙂  I love music. I love guitar.  And I love sharing my knowledge and helping others gain the same excitement I have for the instrument and learning!

I started this site in 1999 and I know from 20 plus years of teaching experience that students learn better, progress faster, and have much more fun when songs are at the core of the method.

However that being said, the site is much more then just learning songs.  It is a complete step by step method designed to make you feel great, have fun and get results.

Each lesson will have you working on important guitar topics - scales, chords, arpeggios, strumming, fingerpicking, improv, singing and playing and even song writing. Each topic has been carefully chosen in a sequence that fits your experience level, and is closely connected to the songs that you are learning.

The ultimate purpose: to get you playing well, and fast.

  • Learn Songs: I know from over 20 years of teaching that students learn better and faster when songs are at the core of the method.  The Step-by-Step Method will teach you what you need and when to give you the skills to play anything.
  • Learn Songs Fast - There is no better way to learn songs fast then by playing along with someone who knows the song.  Better yet a professional.  Like me 🙂  The Play-Along MP3s will let you play along at your own pace and when you feel like it.  Private lessons don't even provide that.
  • Learn Songs Well: Each lesson takes apart the song and breaks it into small, easy-to-absorb pieces with Beat-by-Beat Breakdowns that build your muscle memory, train your ear and let you see results right away.
  • Step-by-step method: I'm saying it again only because it's so important. I hear almost every day that there is just so many options out there for learning how to play the guitar online. And while that is really cool, it can be overwhelming, and often it's paralyzing. Too often I hear about somebody who is excited to pick up the guitar after a long time of thinking about it, but after getting lost in the overload of information, completely stops in their tracks. My membership helps you by taking that guess-work out completely. You will stop wasting time searching for things to learn and what to play that suits your level. This time, you will be able to hold on to your excitement, and instead of it being stopped in its tracks, you will be able to see it grow and transform into confidence.

 

Membership gets you access to absolutely everything that I have been working on for my community of students for the past 18 years. That's 200+ videos, almost 100 song breakdowns, and a whole lot of feeling good on your part.

Having said all of that, a lot of what makes learning the guitar easy and effective is the connection that you share with your teacher. If you don't feel that you are making the progress you hoped for, or if you feel that the membership is not right for you once you've tried it out, you can cancel your membership during the first month and I will refund your money. I do the same with my in-person students. No questions asked, I get it. 🙂
