Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great workout for your right hand's ability to snap between chord shapes quickly — at 155 BPM in the key of D, those power chords like Bpow, Gpow, and Epow will fly by, so you need clean, confident hand shifts rather than fumbling for individual notes.

Your left hand stays grounded with a block bass pattern, which is good news: let it be your anchor while your right hand does the heavy lifting.

I'd suggest starting hands-separate at around 100 BPM, focusing first on the right-hand chord changes — especially the move from Bm to Gsus2, which catches a lot of students off guard because the shape change is wider than it feels.

Once that's smooth, bring your hands together and bump the tempo up in small increments.

Watch the transition into the C and Cpow sections too; they sit outside the home key and your fingers will want to drift.

Loop those passages until they feel automatic.

This is the song that'll really lock in your power-chord vocabulary and teach you to keep steady time when the energy is pushing you to rush.
