Moving Between Power Chords
The trick to moving the power chord is to try to keep your chord-shape and fingers glued together as much as you can, while lightening up on the pressure and sliding the whole shape to another location on the neck of the guitar.
You will notice that the higher you go on the neck, the smaller the frets are. You will have to work on allowing for that variation as you shift your power chord from one spot to another.
Have fun!
