:chucks:What up?

Normally when people learn guitar, they will learn the open chords, A, D and E, known as the 3 chord trick. Learning these 3 chords would allow you to play the majority of 60s songs like Twist and Shout, Peggy Sue and a zillion others.

However, those open chords are not covered in the Guide as they are not heavy enough ;-) So, instead, you can use the same Chord Sequence (known as a Chord Progression) but just play the metal chord versions instead.

Try playing them in this order (strumming each chord twice)

1) A POWER CHORD twice (5th Fret / 6th String and 7th Fret/5th String)
2) D POWER CHORD twice (5th Fret / 5th String and 7th Fret 4th String)
3) OPEN E twice (Open 6th String and first finger on 2nd fret / 5th string)
4) D POWER CHORD twice (5th Fret / 5th String and 7th Fret 4th String)

(Repeat)

Now try playing these chords in different orders to make up your own progression.
