[@RachelfGuitar]

One note: You'll want to mute the other strings you aren't playing with the side of your index finger to make sure no other notes ring out while you are strumming 🤘. Also, if you play a power chord with the root note on the A string, you will want to mute the low E string with the tip of your index finger as well.

[@Criticmizer]

Don’t you mean, mute it with your middle finger?

[@i-deni-i5138]

​@@Criticmizer No. You're muting all the other strings with your index finger.

[@welshwisdom]

Add drums and you have Green day

[@tornado_music24]

yes my thoughts exactly :)

[@MaxlovesMyxChem]

Thats why im learning it😭

[@gregoryarutyunyan5361]

[@giantclaw138]

[@urmotherxo]

Literally

[@aodh5966]

Power chords are great. I enjoy making my own riffs with them. Started playing in drop D to get some more metal sounds

[@tktspeed1433]

May I suggest playing in D standard, it is better.

[@leaf_it6764]

I love how happy she looks to share this

[@bonthamosha8837]

Your excitement on you face in this video makes me feel happy 😊

[@florencehenderson3707]

short, sweet and simple, thanks!

[@Skelly5962]

You totally rock, rachel!

[@Briansgate]

My dad taught me the regular chords on an acoustic when I was a kid. Then later when I got an electric, and found out what a power chord was, It was a world changer. Thanks for showing this eye opening trick to the new generation.

[@ceooflonelinessinc.267]

For me it felt like a downgrade 😢

[@NezterBedford]

Hey there lovely young lady Rachelf. ✌ Thanks for your contribution to our wonderful world of music! Our world would be a better place if more of us just simply picked up an instrument. Music is a universal language for us all to relate to. Welcome back 50's through 80's generation🎵🎶🎸

[@audiophileman7047]

It has been said that the late, great Link Wray invented power chords. The first ones I ever played were the ones used on Black Sabbath's Iron Man song, oh yeah. It's a cool and pretty easy riff for a beginner to play. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@dezertson2011]

They are just regular chords.

[@zaz4667]

AWESOME! Bring on the Rock and Roll!

[@Stinkus17]

I just barre with my ring finger, I usually hit the 2 higher strings and it sounds pretty good sometimes, on the a string it forms a full major chord so that’s pretty cool

[@thepeacesage]

You are a super cool person tbh

[@stone9.098]

Greatest post EVER!

[@charlesmerfeld2988]

Love your enthusiasm.

[@Keiko91101]

[@alifkucingbaik790]

Your voice so unique. Love it. I'm wondering hear it in another situation.

[@missedshotz-_-9141]

Honestly did a great job with the time given 👍

[@scottkellogg8145]

Cool all kinds of secrets to the guitar world

[@LucasBozovich]

Something to add to it. You can experiment with adding a barre chord on the index finger further up the strings, and maybe adding a note below that pinky octave with the middle finger.

[@Warden-NiNJeN]

Damn I didn't know it was THIS shrimple! 🦐 Thank you so much haha Rock on! 🔥✨

[@louiscampbell1416]

Hey you're the next level thanks for the power

[@JediJingleMaker]

Hey Rachel, you rock, check out my original music on my official artist channel and let me know what you think!

[@ivantishin2276]

Талант

[@Aigentcy]

I was watching you the whole time and didn't hear one thing you said. You're good

[@kdog7617]

Awesome rachef

[@babylon4206]

to spice things up, you can play inverse power chords by playing 2 notes on the same fret

[@AlphaPackBoi]

Power chords were pretty much my start in guitar. Other than learning how to tune

[@AQBPlays]

She has a nice smile. I always feel like I’m being laughed at somehow…

[@frankie352]

He went full goth

[@davidvanberkel5599]

Great

[@jakejeskey]

Great video! Ibanez RG?

[@cam-inf-4w5]

Why are you so happy lol i feel like im not in on a joke like youre always about to laugh but it never happens

[@markgilanthonyangwaybasco4915]

woooahhh

[@sidando9974]

What is this Ibanez model? the paint job is gorgeous

[@HenryMPerez]

Mhmm! I like it!!!

[@JoelLovesLife]

I was like idek how to do a power chord😂😂 only to realize i’ve been doing it the whole time 😭

[@mememan5466]

If you want to play a power chord off of the D string, all you have to do is raise the position of the octave by 1 fret (or just do the two note version)

[@dhairyabhardwaj1732]

I see a lot of metal musicians play power chords with their index and pinky rather than the index and ring. Does that make a difference?

[@RachelfGuitar]

That's cool too, I think it's really up to what you feel most comfortable with personally. With that though, for adding the octave you would either have to barre with your pinky or switch to using your ring finger.

[@kittycat8222]

😢so 25 years ago my classically trained father flipped out at my desire to learn these.

[@ChadKingOfficial]

you sound like your about to laugh at any second

[@Toddjaramillo]

I wish I had long nice fingers like this guitarist. My are short and chubby and it’s frustrating

[@Millqw.9]

I dont listen rock but i want an EG

[@JuliasChoices]

If you drop d the one finger can rhythm and it gives you 3 open fingers to lead with

[@LEMOnBRaINn]

It’s crazy to me that cobain didn’t even add the other finger he made all those songs with 2 fingers

[@danielshynkarou5012]

When i try my fingers just can’t stretch that far, what am i doing wrong?

[@thearchergravity]

My fingers don't seem to bend like yours. All anyone tells me about doing power chords is how "easy" they are. 😭

[@ALEMannaLemke]

Is the middle finger on a string? (I always struggle to see if it’s resting, muting a string or pressing it)

[@death_knell]

Nice! How do you prevent accidentally strumming the other strings? IM STRUGGLING 😂

[@crozbyevange]

What is your drive pedal

[@guarango1134]

Metal!!!!

[@sauravligal5809]

DAD TUNING

[@SamarthP-wp2vk]

[@Powderr]

[@skxlter5747]

How do you play solos faster

[@shashidharuppada8757]

Strumming pattern please please at 0.47 seconds

[@Joshwa_richard]

Damn. I cant believe i self thought myself a power chord. I thought that was not a power chord

[@IsntBoredomFun]

THANK YOU IVE BEEN WONDERING WHY THERES A FINGER OVER THE OTHER STRINGS 😭

[@gc583]

no really... you rock.

[@steampressedpiston4634]

How many strings do you play? 4?

[@that1drummerguy11]

And now you can play any green day song ever

[@boomboomballoon9752]

You sound like the kid who taught me to tech deck

[@richardgwynedd1024]

Power chords are just easy and simple, i can't play proper chords at all so i stick with what i know

[@savagezbo2236]

How do you make your guitar have a rock sound or metal sound just got it today and have no clue. Lol
