Power Chords

All right, I will tell you a little bit about power chords. The name power chord is combination of power, because they sound pretty powerful, and chord for chord. Actually, they are not really chords. Chords are 3 notes or more, whereas power chords only have 2 different notes.
The reason why power chords are so popular is that they are easy to use and they sound pretty cool. Power chords are easy to play just about anywhere on the guitar neck and it's often easier to use power chords for the really fast part of the song.

Put your fingers in playing position and start playing. In order to change the chord just move up or down in the fret board.
