Also, you can't tell me that you have the option of adding a 7th

Admit it, you guys just like the sound of the cranked up chaotic gained up overdrive :P

Well, as we were talking about power-chords and as a 7th is an extended chord it is a bit like complaining that your guitar doesn't sound like a trumpet!!!

However if you apply a little imagination it becomes apparent that people have been using flattened seventh intervals in power chords for about a billion years. Use a sixth or flattened seventh interval in conjunction with the root note and BANG there you go ???

Try it, it is normally one of the first thing people learn on the guitar often referred to as a "little finger wagger" !! Referee to the works of such luminaries as Status Quo a la "Sweet Caroline" !!

And yes, Im not a big fan of HM however I do like the sound of a balls out Marshall and what wrong with that ?
