Re: Power chords

A "power chord" is just an interval of a perfect 5th.   There's not really a whole lot to know about them other than that, other than turn the gain and volume up a lot.  big_smile

Someday we'll win this thing...

Re: Power chords

i'm no proffessor but the way i play power chords is......
place my 1st finger on the low E string, then skip a fret and place my 3rd & 4th on the next 2 strings like i'm playing Em.
i fooled around and found that different frets corrospond to the chords that you normally play, like E, D, & A.
you can move your fingers down a string each and play different chords.
hope thats not too confusing, but it works really well once you get the hang of it.

The world is only going to get worse!
