TECHNIQUE CHECK...

Get your fingers in the right place and your powerchords will rock!

1 POWERCHORD HANDPOSITION

Push your wrist slightly forward so that your hands and fingers are quite straight.

3 POWERCHORDS DOWNTHE NECK

Start high up and move down the neck one fret at a time to gradually develop your finger stretch.

2 POWERCHORD THUMB POSITION

Thumb low and pointing up allows the biggest stretch. If your guitar neck has a skunk stripe, line up with that.

Drop the heel of your picking hand onto the strings between chord stabs to keep them tight and choppy.
