Power Cord Instruction in 30 Days to Guitar

[Loraine]

@MMMURRAY Congrats on the new guitar. I’ve heard good things about the Zagers. As for Poeer Chirds, Tony teaches the 3 nite version if Poeer Chirds. I’ve always used thr 2 note version, e hich consists of the 2 lowest strings. Its okay to simply do the 2 finger way

Thanks, I’ll try that.

@MMMURRAY Just reread my post and had to laugh at all the typos. When I use my phone, all bets are off on what gets typed in or not typed in. Anyway, meant to say Power Chords, not Poeer Chirds; that Tony teaches the 3-chord version of power chords, not the 3 nite version; and the last 2-3 mistakes are easily read. Sorry about that.

Btw, to answer a post and to make sure the person receives notification of a response, either click the backwards arrow within their post; to the right of their name; or to doubly make sure they receive notification, address the post to them by typing in an ampersand @ and their screen name, such as @Loraine. Wait for the window to drop down after typing this in and click on the correct name. Somtimes you have to do a space and then backspace in order for the dropdown menu to appear (not sure why). Anyway, welcome back. 🙂

I understand. My phone also has that problem. What exactly are the 2 strings and on what frets?

@MMMURRAY

I’m having the very same problem. My pinkey and ring finger will not stretch down 2 frets. I’m 85 and the fingers don’t want to work like that. If you find the secret, let me know.

Not into my 80’s yet but not far behind you. I just followed what Loraine suggested and used my index and pinky on the E, 5ht fret and A, 7th fret to do it. It’s better than nothing. One of the things that I like about Tony’s instructions is that he’s open to letting you adapt to a whatever works approach. And at this stage in my life I’m not about getting my fingers to do the impossible. Good luck.
