Power chords help

[lotsosmiles]

Can someone tell me of a site that will have all the power chords on it?
I have done some searching but I can't find a website that has it very simplified ( I just started guitar)

Thanks :)

Power chords are all Fives

Power chords contain only two different notes - the route note and its fifth - however you can play two route notes and two fifths.

A power chord must contain A (route note) and E ( fifth) -A5

D power chord must contain D (route note) and A (fifth) -D5

E power chord must contain E ( route note) and B(fifth) -E5

If you consider an E minor on the second fret - 5th and 4th strings, the three bass strings are, E open, B, and another E, these three strings played together form E5.

Others :G5 is G and D

C5 is C and G

'The fifth' - is the fifth note of the natural scale of the route note


E natural scale is E..F#..G#..A..B..C#..D#..E, if you play these notes it will sound: Do ray me far so la ti Do

If you count from left to right you can see that B is the fifth note

Power Chords are made using the Root note, and the 5th degree of the scale.
Here is an example on the "C major" scale:
1-2-3-4-5-6- 7
C-D-E-F-G-A-B

Now take the first note[C], and the fifth[G]
and you get a chord named " C5 " or [C Power Chord].

If you use the "C minor" scale:
1-2- 3- 4-5- 6- 7
C-D-Eb-F-G-Ab-Bb

And you take the first note[C] and the fifth[G]
you get the same " C5 " chord

Power Chords do not have Major or Minor Tonality.

Here you can see how the Root note and the fifth degree of the scales, are part of the fallowing chords:

C Major....C-E- G
C minor....C-Eb-G
C sus2.....C-D- G
C sus.......C-F- G
C7...........C-E- G-Bb
Cm7.........C-Eb-G-Bb
etc, etc
Two notes are present in all of those chords, they are {C&G}
the same notes that make the " C5 " or [C Power Chord].
