read...ABOUT POWER CHORDS from the easy version of Better Together This is a great way for beginners to practice moving Power Chords around the neck of the guitar. A Power Chord's formula is "1, 5". Basically the first and fifth note of the major scale played at the same time. Remember the movie "The Sound of Music"? "Do" is the first note of the major scale. "Re" is the second and so forth. Instead of saying Do Re Me Fa So La Ti, we give them numbers, simply, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. So let's take a Major chord, it is built from playing the 1 3 5 of the scale at the same time. A Major chord has a happy sound. A Minor chord is 1 b3 5 (move the 3 down one fret. Like when you play and E Major chord and take your first finger off to make Eminor) and you get a sad or dark sounding chord. Notice the only difference between a Major and a Minor Chord is the 3? Well if we don't even play a 3 and just play the 1 and 5, we get a Power Chord that sounds, well, kind of powerful. Not happy like a Major and not sad like a Minor, just kind of in the middle. Hope that sheds some light on Chords and function. Q: WAIT HOW DO I PLAY A MAJOR SCALE? (you might ask). A: WELL You may not know how to play a Major scale so here is a quick tip. On string SIX (the thickest string) play fret 3 then 5 then 7, then on string FIVE play fret 3 then 5 then 7, then on string FOUR play fret 4 then 5! That was the G Major Scale. The notes you played were G A B C D E F# and ended on G an octave higher than the G you started on. You can play this "Pattern" anywhere on the neck of the guitar as long as you start on the SIX string OR the FIFTH string. Maybe I should make a video of this....hmmm. Let me know if you want me to and I'll post it. Happy Playing!!! -Micah Beverly
