6/29/23 update!
I can't believe this little video is still going and GOING! Guys, thanks for watching - it means a lot. I've 500+ videos but this was one of the first and I didn't even originally make it for KZread. I know it looks like it was made in 1984 instead of 2012, believe me. But the content is still very cool.
Please join me on Saturdays at 5pm ET for my free KZread Guitar Q+A livestream. Just text your questions about learning the guitar and I'll answer as many as I can in about 2 hours. If you can't make it on Saturdays, the livestreams are available to watch afterwards and soon I'll be making them into podcasts as well. I look forward to your questions!
And if you're serious about getting better at the guitar, check out my website www.song-bike.com. Lots of great content and PDFs - stuff NOT AVAILABLE on KZread.
I do online lessons too. Email me : info@song-bike.com
You can't rock without Power Chords - and they're EASY ! Finally....something a beginner can play that sounds PRO, because everybody uses Power Chords: The Beatles, punk, metal, grunge, indie... This video will get you up and running in a hurry. Grab your guitar and add to your skills TODAY !

In coming up on 62 and after just messing around off and on over the years I've decided to get more serious. I like this guys step by step way of breaking it down so even an old geezer like me can get it. Thanks for your inspiration, its never too late to learn something new.
Being completely honest when I saw the length of the video I thought 'Oh god this guy is going to bore me'. When I sat and watched and played along I found your advice to be incredibly useful. Having had a guitar for many years and not playing it because of lack of motivation, your advice showed to have fun and make it my own. Subscribed and many thanks!

Absolutely the best tutorial I've had on utube! I am 71 years old and recoving from a stroke. I'm just getting back to playing guitar after 20+ years. I was not very good before but with your help I'm going to be real good soon. Liked, subscribed and loving it. Others tell you to put your fingers here and you are all set . But, you walked through this patiently and did not rush. Your pointer on thumb placement helps immensely. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with a great teaching style.

I just bought my first electric guitar today 💕 and it was only $200. I'm renting to own so only paid $20. I plugged it into an amp in the store and I was like, why doesn't it sound like an electric guitar? I was way too embarrassed to ask anyone, but now I understand thanks to you...power chords. Will probably buy an amp tomorrow and then to play my first power chord.....I'm really excited about this journey.

Very nice tutorial, suggested this to my friend whos just starting. I generally think that learning power chords before, well, "real" chords is much more useful. For beginner chords and changing between them can be really really hard and it doest really motivate you to continue when everything you play sounds "bad". With easy power chords you start to hear the songs yourself playing giving motivation boost. At least thats what id like to think.

I'm just starting guitar (moving from the bass) and I must say: I had a basic abstract idea of power chords, but I never knew that they are a thing. When I kept hearing "power chords" on guitar forums, I had to find out what they were. And I'm so glad I chose your video. When you said that anyone can learn them I didn't believe you. However you explain it so simply yet masterfully detailed that you certainly proved me wrong. Thanks a lot!

This was really really helpful! I used to keep playing the thinner strings accidentally during power chords and the tip on placing your first finger slightly over those strings really helped so thanks a lot and keep making videos!

You just got yourself a new sub :). I have been playing the guitar for almost three years now, but have lacked motivation to learn anything new. This video really helped me getting that motivation back

Getting my first ever guitar this week, thank you for these tips, i will , no doubt be back for lots more advise
Thank you Jonathan for this lesson, I have started with open chords then moved to full bar chords but I want to put to good use my telecaster, without using it to basically replicate what I do on the acoustic. I can finally practice these chords, you seem incredibly patient and nice, I really appreciate your efforts. Daniel
Truly enjoy your lesson of playing basic beginning for learner like me. You are truly a gifted teacher. Enjoy your lessons. I am wanting to be a good guitar player in the next 9 months ; all because of you. .
Thank you, excellent lesson, I was having real problems with power chords ( Im only on my 50th day of learning the guitar, got the barre chords sorted but!) and now its Pinky training. The stress of thumb position is so helpful and important, thanks again!!

Brilliant lesson. Best introduction to power chords I have seen. ( from an older beginner)
you're videos have helped me take major strides forward in my playing! thank you
Thank you for another great instructional music video from you. Keep in mind there are a few lefties watching and I see your lessons like a mirror effect and there is no confusion because you take the time to show us exactly where the finger position(s) are located at an instuctional speed that can be observed so easily.
One of the best produced and informative videos on you tube, not doubt I will subscribe!
I am very enjoyed learning power chords from you today, you are very great teacher. I am hard learning all chords, I am 73 years old I start play guitar less than a year, thank you for teaching.

Hi Michael, thanks for watching! I do Skype lessons so please let me know if you're interested. Contact me through youtube or at kehewj@gmail.com. More videos on the way !
thank you....the light just came on....i got this !...shapes are one thing, the explanation did it....i really got this...now to make the pinkie finger do it's job....loved the lesson !
I'm so happy to have found your videos. They are excellent because they don't try to explain in 5 minutes which is today's disease. They are ever so clear and after practicing for years without really enjoying it, I am enjoying my guitar playing thanks to you. What's cool about your videos is that even if you play slowly, you can get some pleasure out of them. Maybe in this video, you could be clear on the strums. My next step will be to see your strumming lessons. I would appreciate if you numbered your first lessons in order to move on smoothly. Many thanks from France. Paul
