My favorite power chords are very Megdaeth. The first being the chromatic use of the major third, and the second is the spider chord. Which is more of a technique than a chord, but I still think it's a fun way to add excitement to some otherwise lackluster power chords.

I think stacked power chords can also be used to play bar chords like in a drop tuning, (barring only the sixth and fifth strings). This is useful for me if I want to play chuggy drop A power chord riffs but still staying at E standard. tuning.

Some power chords that were left out are chords involving a root-third interval, such as playing a major or minor third one string up, or playing a root-5th power chord with the index finger moved one fret down (which is basically an inverted root-3rd), which I call a ".38 Special power chord".

@francescocagnacci6 жыл бұрын
SchwartzerAdler I think so
@FinnUkato6 жыл бұрын
SchwartzerAdler I’m not sure if I’m correct but I think it’s the lack of the 3rd of the chord, which removes any major and minor. Either that or the ability to use the same chord shape all around most of the guitar on standard tuning.
@hotman7186 жыл бұрын
Power chord is basically a triad with the 3rd ommited. They are often called 5 chords because usually it's a root 5th and octave. You can add other intervals just not the 3rd.
@AdiAdi-bf6sj6 жыл бұрын
Yea I think it’s because the 5th is dominant, so usually gives neither a Major or minor sound when used between the octave and root. Correct me if i’m wrong aha

yea.. Incubus was second band that came to my mind about this type of chords.. the first what I imagined was Last Resort by Papa Roach.. I know that they are playing it in drop D with different holding, but the sound and notes are actually the same when you play it in standard this way.. I think it's better to play it in standard D in every way, it's surer.. with drop D that does not feel really great when you have to hold powerchord from the second string + somehow the bottom string

My favorite is the weird reversed type power chord (not sure the name of it) but say you’re playing 3rd fret on the A string and 5th fret on the D string, then flip it and play 5th on A and 3rd on D. So instead of looking like this: e: B: G: D: 5 A: 3 E: It’d look like this e: B: G: D: 3 A: 5 E: It’s used a lot in “Brompton Cocktail” by avenged sevenfold and it’s really cool sounding. Edit: I’m pretty sure these are actually called “double stops” correct me if I’m wrong.

It's simply the root of the key you're playing in. In other words, those two names are equal to the same sound but would be used in different contexts depending on the mode/key you're in.
