Lesson dedicated for beginner players. Strumming power chords is usually the very first step we make, while we start our adventure with electric guitar. When we switch on the distortion for the first time, we should get familiar with some essential differences between chord strumming on acoustic guitar, and chord strumming on distorted electric guitar tone. Here's a lesson that will introduce You to electric guitar rhythm playing.
