Iron Man

Hi Mike....

On Chord boot camp,  you did a Power Chord Iron Man song /riff.    Could you post it up as to where on keyboard and the power chords ??

Hi there!  Sure:

The riff is: one strum B5 then one strum D5. Next is another strum on D5 then 2 strums on E5.
Then it goes one strum G5 to one strum F#5 (faster strums) played a total of 3 times.
Now back to D5 for 2 strums and then E5 for 2 strums.

B5 is: 2nd fret of A string, 4th fret of D string.
D5 is: 5th fret of A string, 7th fret of D string.
E5 is: 7th fret of A string, 9th fret of D string.
G5 is: 10th fret of A string, 12th fret of D string.
F#5 is: 9th fret of A string, 11th fret of D string.

You could also do a google search : "iron man tab" and find the tab for it.

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes!

This one is fun Mike....

Thanks for your quick reply

Also, spreading my pinky with that Chuck Berry extension off the A5 you quickly showed 

in the Guitar Boot Camp last night....

Thanks Again,   Davo

For someone new to playing power chords, what advice would you give them on developing a consistent, clean sound when switching between the B5, D5, E5, G5, and F#5 chords in this progression?

Thank you for this question! My first suggestion, since you're new to power chords, is to go slowly at first, making sure you are playing the notes in each chord cleanly. As you play through the progression, try your best to keep the same finger shape when you move through the chords. The power chord shape uses either the index and ring fingers, or the index and pinky (either is acceptable). Keep your index finger straight, with the fingertip fretting the low note of the chord. If you can, try to rest the lower part of the index finger against the higher strings to mute them. Finally, if you are playing these with an electric guitar, add some crunch or distortion to the sound - you'll find the chords sound more "rock" this way. Hope this helps! Best of Luck!!

Hey! For the "Iron Man" riff, try using G and F power chords. Left hand plays G (root) and F, right hand plays D and C (fifths). Play around with octaves to match the heavy feel of the song! I was searching for the reviews online for academized.com/write-my-thesis website because over there I found an essay writer who will write my thesis assignment for me and while searching for it online, I also found a link to your post. I wanted to make my account here but before that I want to know little information and you provided all the information I need.
