power chords suck
at least they do in my opinion. i think that using power chords is just limiting your ability to be a really good guitarist by not putting any effort into your playing. of course, everyone on the planet is too lazy to tab without them, so there's no tabs on the internet that don't use them. that's why i started a site that only has tabs that dont use power chords. but, since they're all songs i tabbed, it doesn't have very many yet. so please, go and check out my site! and send me a bunch of tabs! i'll put them up, i swear! i just need the tab, song name, and artist, and i'll put it on my site. thanks

Come now...they have a limited place in music...LOL.
Granted not a very good place in acoustic based music...but for that really meaty "power" sound in rock...you can't get it any other way. |
Cobain, I could be wrong here, but looking at your tabs, you must be going through a 55 gallon drum of picks a day!

Power or Barre chords and a couple of AC/DC cassettes are what got me started on the road to playing by ear back at 16 y/o.
I'm no artist or a great guitarist, but I owe part of my ear training to those chords. I still use them at times to find the chord progression to tunes I'm trying to pick out, even if no barre chords are used in the song. Find it using barre chords, then switch to what's actually used.. Limiting my ability?? Not.. Helpful way to get me where I need to be?? Definitely!!! |
Well, I guess I'm just operating in a different realm music wise. I just don't see to many power chords in my fingerstyle Celtic repetoir. :lol:

This is true.. I love that style of guitar, but I can't make heads or tails outta it even with my barre chords. :D |
The secret is to have the guitar tuned so that no matter what string you play it is a part of a nice sounding chord :ha:
|
Ughhhhh!!! Alternate tunings..
"Help me, I'm melting!!!" :D Maybe one day I'll get the hang of 'em.. ;) |
I'm gonna ask a dumb question...What is a true "power chord", I play lots of chords, and fingerstyle stuff. I really don't play any electric.
|
Barre chords. Particularly when on electric guitar with distortion.
|
By the way.. Welcome to forum, cobain.
