Guitar chord
A power chord A5
A power chord: the root and the fifth, no third, so neither major nor minor. With distortion, it is the sound of rock and metal.
Its notes: A and E.
How to play it
- index: fret 2, string 4
- ring: fret 2, string 3
- Open: string 5
- Don't play: strings 6, 2, and 1
On the dots: 1 = index, 2 = middle, 3 = ring, 4 = little finger. Strings go from 6 (low E) to 1 (high E).
Easier
This is an open chord: some strings ring open and there is no barre. One of the first chords to learn.
