Chords

Power Chords To you folks who are afraid of barre chords, I am assuming you mostly play a flat top. My advice is to get a set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky Pinks. If you have access to an electric, all the better. Now play your power chords like this F : 1 3 3 2 x x, no barre, just press the "E" bass string with your first finger. This is as easy as playing an E chord, believe me! The minor chords require a demi-barre, but still really easy. Your aching left hand will thank you.
