I would like to show you a rock chord progression. Again, using power chords, but this time we are going to use a muting technique. We are going to mute the strings. We are going to just work with the sixth string, the low E, and the fifth string, the A. Let us practice by muting.
What we are going to do is hold the palm of our hand and rest it gently on the strings, to where it creates this rock-and-roll muted effect. Practice on the A. (Demonstration)
You can also do your up-down picking (Demonstration) until you get comfortable. Let us start with a real basic rock and roll power chord progression. We are going to use an open E, the G, and the A on our sixth string. On the fifth string, we are going to use the open A, the C and the D. (Demonstration)
