The backbone of rock and metal guitar, powerchords are a must for adding drive and punch to your rhythm guitar tracks. Our powerful Evolution guitar engine has multiple ways to achieve powerchords depending on your workflow. Whether you want to manually play the strumming or let the built-in strumming pattern handle it, manually control the powerchords or get instant powerchord voicings with a single key, this video shows you all the different approaches so that you can get great sounding chugging rhythm guitar tracks.

The virtual instrument used in this video is Evolution Indie Rock, a deeply sampled electric guitar that features an iconic offset guitar popular among alternative and indie rock guitarists: orangetreesamples.com/products/evolution-indie-rock
