Re: Power Chords

From: Power Chord Guitar Guy

Comments

Power chords are just two note chords (diads) the 1st and the 5th notes (degrees) of the scale played together. Since it has no 3rd it is neither major nor minor and can be used in any song (usually rock). Power chords are best when used with a lot of distortion and are usually used by the rhythm guitarist. If a song is in the key of E then play the E power chord E(1) & B(5) notes as the base foundation of the song.
