Ahh... Some how-to-play-guitar Instructables are mediocre, but this one could really use some work! Poor grammar is definitely your most obvious fault, and to a lesser extent the organization of the article. -Simply explaining in words with or without pictures the fingering of the chords would likely be more effective, besides easier to comprehend; maybe more conventional tabs would be better than the chord charts you used. -How does tuning affect chord fingerings? The chord would just be a half step up or down (whatever you're tuned to). -Power chords can used on any string, provided that there is at least a fifth, and usually the octave note for a full "E5" chord, for example. The 5 is for the fifth after the base note of the chord. Other than all that, though I've left some things out, this Instructable does sum up and line out the basics of playing the electric twanger. I'd like to point some things out, though: It ain't "Ac/DC." This merely shows that you wrote this in a hurry/didn't pay attention/CARE to read over what you typed. AC/DC ain't metal; they're a Rock 'n' Roll band, and if anyone doesn't believe me, then they should just listen to a couple of their songs (besides the ones whose titles include the words "Rock 'n' Roll," and the like), especially songs from the Bon Scott era. "Ain't" ain't a word. ...This is all coming from a fourteen-year-old middle school percussionist (and section leader, I might add), so don't think think of me as the foremost guitarist on all of cyberspace. Very interesting Instructable! Reform it a little and it could probably beat all the other ones on the subject. Lastly, I must say that Angus is da best!!!!

Zakk is best at pinch harmonics, Angus did help with hard rock, but I must say Jimmy Page and Tony Imoni REALLY created heavy metal, but for rock, it was Stevie good, with Elvis, and what they did is played like faster versions of blues
