Review Material / Extra Notes

Older material to keep alive while still moving forward.

Review Item 1
☢️ Power Chords On E & A Mixed 💥

Run through the power chords on both the E and A strings.

Play the open E5, then move down to A5.

Next: F5, then the matching chord on the A string.

Then G5, followed by its match on the A string.

Remember: all A-string chords are directly below their E-string counterparts — except F, which moves one fret over and down.
