How power chord saved my life.
A few years ago, we were having this family reunion at my house. I'd been playing guitar for a few years by then. So, just to show off my skills, I decided to play and sing a couple of Billy Ray Cyrus songs. Here's my acoustic guitar.
On the day of the reunion, I was just strumming some chords for practice, and the worst thing that could happen to me right then, happened. Yup, I broke the top 2 strings, the E and B strings. Well, I started panicking. Like, REALLY panicking. I mean, there were about 20 people, all expecting me to play like some pro! Then an idea struck me - replace the normal chords with power chords. I didn't really have time to practice all my songs, so I just went out there and hoped for the best. When I was on stage (My dining table, it's quite big!), I just sorta did some impromptu stuff with the power chords. I nearly messed up a couple of time, but I managed to pull through! Nobody realised that I was playing with only 4 strings, and that I wasn't playing with proper chords, except for my dad, I think For some reason, he kept on smiling at during the "performance"! Well, I hope that taught you to learn
Power chords!
