Robert,
I don't know how I missed this thread until now! Regardless, good on you for stepping back to enjoy life and get out of the Rat Race!
Best of luck in your endeavors. It already looks like you are enjoying your new found freedom!
Cheers!
Those are my favorites.It's a 'Cheater' version...![]()
I thought a power chord was only 2 notes, root and 5th? Dropping the root seems like it would be all lead notesThose are my favorites.
I even put together a song called Cheater. By dropping the root note of the full power chord.
Ha ha ha
Cheers

Funny I thought a power chord was 3 notes see how dumb I amI thought a power chord was only 2 notes, root and 5th? Dropping the root seems like it would be all lead notes![]()
If you play root, 5th, octave, it could still be a power chord IMO. Still 2 notes, just 3 strings. I call those power chords. 2 strings isn't really a chord to me.Funny I thought a power chord was 3 notes see how dumb I am![]()
Heck, I don’t know what is correct. I play a lot of songs with PCs and only play on the 5th and 6th or 4th and 5th strings. BWTFDIKIf you play root, 5th, octave, it could still be a power chord IMO. Still 2 notes, just 3 strings. I call those power chords. 2 strings isn't really a chord to me.

Heck, I’m gonna have to try me some triads :dood:Technically, a two note "chord" is a diad, but if it sounds good, it is good!!!!

Gotta love a family pic!
And doesn't that feel good?? Best of luck in your new job, aon!I also quit my job today! Feeling pretty enthusiastic about the new one. Last day will be on 1st of Oct, new job starts on the 4th. Hasn't been 7 years though, but almost 4 anyway.
Yup, one finger instead of the academic three... If it works, it works...It's a 'Cheater' version...![]()
Definitely sounds fuller that way, Jethro. Especially if your chord focuses on the higher octave note, the lower root gives it heft. E.G.: G2, D3, G3. Boom! Instant fat power chord "triad".If you play root, 5th, octave, it could still be a power chord IMO. Still 2 notes, just 3 strings. I call those power chords. 2 strings isn't really a chord to me.
