This is not the exact way its supposed to be played, I'm just providing easier shapes for beginners to learn. ---------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------| -66x--99x------------------------------------------------------| -66x-999x--99x--77x--------------------------------------------| -44x-7-7x-999x-777x--------------------------------------------| ----------7-7x-5-5x--------------------------------------------| x=palm mute you can also play the power chords straight through if you'd like without skipping strings, i just prefer my way though because it sounds slightly better.
