Guitar chord
A♭ power chord Ab5
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♭.
Also written G#5.
How to play it

Easier
No barre here: it is a movable shape, with no open strings, that slides along the neck without changing fingers. The same shape, higher or lower, gives the other chords of the same kind.
