Learn Guitar: Power & Bar Chords

This is the 2nd class in my 'Learn Guitar' series and it is all about mastering Power & Bar Chords. It’s suitable for the complete beginner and works up to intermediate level- on both acoustic and electric guitar.

These chords open up a ton of possibilities! They are incredibly versatile and are used in a huge amount of music. They are an essential step in any guitar players development and they unlock a lot of doors!

We are going to look at the correct way to shape these particular chords and learn some very useful stretching/warm up exercises that are going to improve the overall strength and independence in your fingers - whilst vastly improving your technique and overall playing ability.

A wide variety of songs will be a big focus throughout. And we will utilise this range of music to develop a broad playing style, that will leave you feeling confident and creative on the guitar.

I supply a backing track, that provides an example of how you can use each of these chords alongside each other. And I will also encourage you to attempt to write your own music, using the knowledge you’ve gained along the way. I will also link you to guitar recording and music production software.

Resources:  Lots of PDF’s are attached to this class, that contain the tab for each song that we work on - with some extra ones thrown in too. Check out the "Projects & Resources" tab to download them. I also provide documents explaining how to read chord boxes & tab.

Good luck!
