6/29/23 update!
I can't believe this little video is still going and GOING! Guys, thanks for watching - it means a lot. I've 500+ videos but this was one of the first and I didn't even originally make it for KZfaq. I know it looks like it was made in 1984 instead of 2012, believe me. But the content is still very cool.
Please join me on Saturdays at 5pm ET for my free KZfaq Guitar Q+A livestream. Just text your questions about learning the guitar and I'll answer as many as I can in about 2 hours. If you can't make it on Saturdays, the livestreams are available to watch afterwards and soon I'll be making them into podcasts as well. I look forward to your questions!
And if you're serious about getting better at the guitar, check out my website www.song-bike.com. Lots of great content and PDFs - stuff NOT AVAILABLE on KZfaq.
I do online lessons too. Email me : info@song-bike.com
You can't rock without Power Chords - and they're EASY ! Finally....something a beginner can play that sounds PRO, because everybody uses Power Chords: The Beatles, punk, metal, grunge, indie... This video will get you up and running in a hurry. Grab your guitar and add to your skills TODAY !

Being completely honest when I saw the length of the video I thought 'Oh god this guy is going to bore me'. When I sat and watched and played along I found your advice to be incredibly useful. Having had a guitar for many years and not playing it because of lack of motivation, your advice showed to have fun and make it my own. Subscribed and many thanks!

Absolutely the best tutorial I've had on utube! I am 71 years old and recoving from a stroke. I'm just getting back to playing guitar after 20+ years. I was not very good before but with your help I'm going to be real good soon. Liked, subscribed and loving it. Others tell you to put your fingers here and you are all set . But, you walked through this patiently and did not rush. Your pointer on thumb placement helps immensely. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with a great teaching style.

I plugged it into an amp in the store and I was like, why doesn't it sound like an electric guitar? I was way too embarrassed to ask anyone, but now I understand thanks to you...power chords. Will probably buy an amp tomorrow and then to play my first power chord.....I'm really excited about this journey.

I'm just starting guitar (moving from the bass) and I must say: I had a basic abstract idea of power chords, but I never knew that they are a thing. When I kept hearing "power chords" on guitar forums, I had to find out what they were. And I'm so glad I chose your video. When you said that anyone can learn them I didn't believe you. However you explain it so simply yet masterfully detailed that you certainly proved me wrong. Thanks a lot!

Very nice tutorial, suggested this to my friend whos just starting. I generally think that learning power chords before, well, "real" chords is much more useful. For beginner chords and changing between them can be really really hard and it doest really motivate you to continue when everything you play sounds "bad". With easy power chords you start to hear the songs yourself playing giving motivation boost. At least thats what id like to think.

Thank you for another great instructional music video from you. Keep in mind there are a few lefties watching and I see your lessons like a mirror effect and there is no confusion because you take the time to show us exactly where the finger position(s) are located at an instuctional speed that can be observed so easily.

I just want to say thank you for being here you really do a great job at teaching guitar! my father passed 15 years ago and his friend jeff has medical issues and cant remember much to play and he was a god with guitars he tried teaching me years ago and i missed out on learning anything but a couple tunes I'm 40 and been picking for better then 20 years you showed me more in a month then ive learned without jeff in my whole life. i got to say it feels good to hear my 69 fender bandmaster sing some blues it makes jeff smile when i play because he gave it to me hes had it science he was 15 years old. i don't wanna put my guitar down now thank you for helping me make the greatest man i know still hear his amp and the blues. music comes from the sole and helps people keep passing it on.

What I like about Jonathon is that he goes slow and the camera angles are perfect. I have taken lessons from four people and all wanted me to play this or that. Then I decided to try this web sight and so glad I have. This gives me time to practice and get that part solid. When you are older and trying to do this i really need the time in between I started at 66 and Next month I will be 74.

Thank you for teaching at a real beginner's pace. I appreciate the time, and non cost of these videos, I find it hard to keep up. It seems like a real strain for the teacher to back track to his or her roots. You have a nice bedside manner as they say. Thank you. If I find myself coming back to your lessons, I will show my appreciation. Again, thank you for teaching at a slow, and easy going gate.
