I primarily practiced power chords on electric so far, I didn’t feel comfortable to play them on acoustic, as they sounded a bit “dead”. I came back to them yesterday and found out, that the “break” of playing them on acoustic did well. Your lesson gave me a lot of motivation to implement them into my acoustic playing also. Thanks!

That was a fun lesson. I am finally getting somewhere with these palm mutes. No where near perfect but there are sounding better. Thank you Richard.

It is another epic … fifteen pages of goodness !!

Gotta be worth a donation right?
Or, better still, I tickle the edges of a little power chord theory. Perhaps that could be enough to tempt you to take up the amazing discount running through May of lifetime subscription to Practical Music Theory at a giveaway discount price.
Richard the Salesman springs in to life haha
Holy smoke Batman.

My goodness. It’s all too much.
I missed the live session and just got the chance to watch, listen and play along. Great lesson Richard. My wife and I got a lot of it. Thank you very much.
