Re: Power chord songs anyone???

Try "Filter"'s first album. The songs on that album are ALL power chords except for "Stuck in here".
I can play every song on there with the exception of "Stuck in here" because it's acoustic...but I'm learning it fast.

I started out with "Filter", "Catherine Wheel" and "The Flys".
Easy Power-Chord players with good rhythms.

Most Green Day songs use power chords and are relatively easy to play. I use a lot of em. American Idiot, Basket Case etc.

If it has t*ts or pistons it will cost you a fortune

POWER CHORD SONGS?
I did notice some bands and songs, using power chords.
Have you tried this: playing a ballad using power chords? Another example: "the House of the Rising Sun": it's a traditional, and for most people who like or want to play guitar, start with this song, but compare the version played by THE ANIMALS and compare the same song performed by "FRIJID PINK" this can be maybe the best example, of using power chords.
Personally I prefer to use REGULAR CHORDS, A  E  G...., as another way to create a similar kind of POWER CHORDS. As example I take THE ROLLING STONES: "HONKY TONK WOMAN". You start in G, go to C, back G, and D. METHODS TO PLAY: acoustic, and you have their acoustic version "HONKEY TONK BLUES" play this faster and harder: "honky tonk woman". Easy to play, using power chords. I prefer to play this with more POWER(=  power chordish) by pulling and bending in G, C and D, also other strings. The sound, personal taste, is better this way. Some songs however are different, but it is very amusing to play that song slow, acoustic.

You can play all of the album "International Superhits" by Green Day using power chords.
It may say to use barre chords for some parts but if you replace them with power chords (A-based barre=5th string power chord at same fret, E-based=6th string), they still sound like the original songs.
