Don't hate, appreciate.👍

I wish ypu guys many nights of enjoyable jamz, frusttrating praxtice, and sometimes even discouraging moments lolol. Im 31, been playing since i was 13 and nothing in my life so far (single/no kids) has been a more rewarding, challenging, fun, humbling, aggrevating, or enjoyable investment of my time/money/heart. Man stick with it. Seriously. Never stop pushin yourself to play how you wanna play or sound at that given time, or to achieve what you want to achieve playing guitar. You get out what you put in with guitar, well anything in life really. Its all about discipline. Learn the boring shit. Itll help more than you know down the road. And make sure to learn and at least be aware of proper technique. Especially picking. Bad habits are truly hard to break. And dont let plateaus in your progression/playing discourage you. You will overcome it. Absolutely. I promise. And msot of all, remember why ya started playing. Make sure you know your instrument. Have fun and happy shreddign my dudes

Well that's not actually what it's called, that's a mistake on Trey's part. What he's really playing is a sus2, an add9 by definition has a 3rd, so for example Cadd9 would actually be C E G D.

great lesson, Troy!

I've been playing it for two days just messing around. I dropped tuned to D and I found some of these chords just messing around. This was very informative and confirmed what my ear was telling me already. Also picked up a couple tricks I appreciate it

Useful video-Thanks

thank you for actually teaching each chord showing fret window! so many videos just show playing which is difficult to really see where each finger goes on the neck. my first and ring fingers cant stretch for power chords so I try to use my pinky but it curls funny and hurts. determined though to shred! thanks!

I really appreciate that you tried to go beyond typical power cord which became boring during years!some of the modified power cords yoy mentioned i came up with and first hit on my brain was opening riff of the Orion of metallica!

Great video!!

Thank you so much for sharing.

The add 9 "stacked" chord is was used by "Satch" as an arpeggio in the main opening riff on his 1st LP "Not Of This Earth". Can't think of the song's name at the moment, but it should be obvious once you hear it!

This video changed my LIFE!!! Thank you!!!

Love how nobody says "good video Trey keep it up" but I'll I see is "Trey your tone sucks" guys listen my theory on why he didn't use one of the better amps for 2 reasons 1 he was thinking about the beginners thinking that if he used a less God like tone proves it can still sound good which it did. 2 he just wanted to do what he wanted with the sound just because he takes time out of his day to make videos for us to enjoy and learn from and all you guys are worried about is the tone. Any way great video Trey

Dropped tuned power chords are my favorite You can do the four note 5th chords on a 6-string if you're tuned to Drop D, Drop Db, and so on...

thanks man, never hurts to learn the basics again :)

I find it odd that he only chose to talk about the R-5-8 (e.g. 577xxx) chord in drop tuning. That was actually the first chord I'd ever learned of as a power chord, and I feel like it's a pretty common shape.

Awesome video, thanks man. Didn't even realize how many different power chords I come across.

best power chord lesson I've seen.

I use that second chord whenever I'm trying to give the illusion that I went "down" to the next chord. Like, if I'm in B Standard, and I want to go from a B power chord to an A power chord, I'll play it like that, and it _kinda_ sounds like I went "down" to A, rather than up.

great video

that add9 chord is actually the suspened 2nd. I use this chord quite often.

Thank you.

5th on the bottom 3 notes chord is my favorite, sounds so awesome in metal and is so underused

Good job, I knew more then I thought, that doesn't happen enough. ;)

awsome video , i actually learned something that i never got to learned in school

To have an add9 chord you need the third. If there is no third it makes the chord sus and there is no third in a power chord. So the 9 is a 2 and therefore it’s sus2

For the low 5th power chord, you can also barre your first finger on the b and e strings to add a 9th and another 5th, gets you a big, melodic chord with no thirds!
