chord that consists of the root note
and the fifth.
example g-powerchord

version counterparts and don’t contain a
major or minor quality to them, so they
can stand in for either type of chord.
example d-powerchord power chords are a key element in many
styles of rock, punk rock, heavy metal
and similar genres.

fingering rather than musical pitches.
tabs are common for fretted stringed
instruments such as the guitar.
tabs written will cover the whole fret-
board numerically and each string bottom
to top.

A pentatonic scale is a scale that has 5
notes per octave.
The minor pentatonic scale is typically
the first scale guitarists learn to solo
with and is used to form solos in rock,
blues and other popular styles of music

Once you learn the minor pentatonic scale,
it should be relatively easy to learn
the blues scale as it is essentially the
same with one additional note (a flattened
5th).

6)techniques in guitar playing there’s lots of methods
and techniques people use to adjust, alter
or enhance the sounds played on a guitar.
palmmuting
g u i t a r b r i d g e
palm muting is a
technique for guitar
and bass made by
placing the side of
the picking hand
across the strings
very close to the
bridge of the guitar.
Frethandmuting similar to palm muting,
fret hand muting is
done by playing a chord/
note then lifting your
hand up to the fret so
that it is still push-
ing on the strings but
not cutting the sound
completely.
When strummed this
should produce a
crispier tone and sound.

such as acoustic, blues and folk music.
