Power Chords
POWER CHORDS are chords that only use the root and 5th steps of the major scale. The chord symbol is abbreviated
to the root and the number 5 (ie. C5, F5). They are played using two or three strings. The examples shown include
three strings. To play the two string version, just omit the highest pitch played with your fourth finger.
