Power Chord Progressions

The next chord progression we will look at is 'E' to 'G.' There are a couple of ways to play this progression with power chords. We'll look at alternate voicings for this combination later.

'E' Power Chord: 'G' Power Chord: In this example, you have to shift from index on the 7th fret to index on the 3rd fret, a shift of four frets. The 'E' chord has its root on the 5th (A) string. The 'G' chord has its root on the 6th (lowest) string.

Example 4 - Shift from the 7th fret to the 3rd fret
