GO TO: www.andrewwasson.com Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question... Q: I'm 15 years old and I play guitar every day when I come home from school. I can't really solo or play much other than the basic two note power chords yet... But, one thing that baffles me is how the 80's rock guys play power chords with more than two notes. Can you tell me what the heck they're doing? How do you play power chords with 4 or 5 strings? Can you do a lesson on power chords? Thank you for making your YouTube channel & all the great guitar lessons. Maybe one day - I'll even understand all of them. - Bill, Fort Worth Texas A: Power chords emphasize the strength of the perfect 5th by dropping the 3rd from the triad. It's a strong resonating sound that's made even more powerful when an amp is switched to the overdrive channel. The strength of the power chord get's compounded when we pile on other unison's, or octave's of the original roots and fifths across the guitar strings. That is the concept of how those 80's rock players get power chords with 4 or even 5 strings to them.
