Guitar Tutorials Page 2

You spend five hours a day playing your guitar. You run your scales, master your legato, your two hand tapping would make EVH blush. So why is it that every time you see a band playing at a bar with a guitarist with only a smidgen of your technical ability he is the centre of attention, garnering the praise of all the punters in the crowd? Wait a minute. Isn't that the band that you tried out for the other week? The same band that said "don't call us, we'll call you"?

A chord is technically 3 or more notes played simultaneously. Most chords have at least 3 notes. But a "power chord" is just 2 notes. the Root and the "5th"(also called "perfect 5th). So it is not actually a chord. the "5th" note being 7 semitones above the root. for example, if you are playing an "E" chord, then the power chord would be E and B. If it was a power "A" chord then it would be A and E.

Also called a bare fifth, open fifth or empty fifth.
