• What is a Power Chord? It is a chord consisting of 2 notes. The two notes are the I and V degrees. People use power chords because they are neither major nor minor. This is because they don't have a third degree, and the third degree tells you whether a chord is major or minor. They are also used because they give the feel of raw

power.

3: Techniques for Creating Your Style• A.Pull-Offs = You pick the first note then pull off the

higher fretted finger so that the remaining fretted note sounds without picking it.

• B.Hammer-Ons = You pick the 1st note, then by hitting a higher fret with a 2nd finger, create a sound without picking it.

• C.Slide-Ups = You slide up to a particular fret after picking the string instead of having your fret finger already in place on the fret.

• D.Bends = You play a note and then bend the string

with your fretting finger either a half or whole step

to another pitch.

• E. Vibrato = You play a note and then slightly bend the string numerous times quickly to create sustain.
