Let’s take a look at a few song examples to get you playing some power chord progressions. You’ll see these more often used in heavy metal than probably any other genre of music.

These inverted power chords tend to have a heavier, more full sound to them. Inverted Power Chords – 4 notesīelow are the 4-note inverted power chords with the bass 5th on the 4th, 5th, and 6th strings. The diagrams below show 3-note power chords with the 5th in the bass position of the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th strings. Inverted Power Chords – 2 notesīelow are 2-note power chords with the 5th as the bass note on strings 4, 5, and 6. This makes much more sense when you see it visually, so let’s take a look at a few diagrams. In the case of the power chord, this would be when the 5th is in the bass position. I surrender all/All to Jesus I surrender CAPO 4 Verse G D All to Jesus I surrender Em C D G All to Him I freely give G D I will ever love and trust him, Em C D G In His presence daily live Chorus G C D G I surrender all, I surrender all G Em C G D G All to thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender all. Because the B string (2nd string) is tuned a 1/2 step lower relative to strings 3-6, the second root is moved up one fret.Īn inverted chord is when a note other than the root note is in the bass position (lowest note) of the chord. The 4th string, on the other hand, is a bit different. You’ll notice the 6th and 5th string shapes are exactly the same. The diagrams below outline the common shapes of the power chord with the root on the 6th, 5th, and 4th strings.
In the 3-note power chord, the root note occurs twice as both the bass root and octave are played. Important to note is that all of these shapes are moveable, so you can play any power chord up and down the neck by moving to a different root note. Since the chord only contains two unique notes, there are only a few shapes you really need to know. Power chords are really easy to play on the guitar. In major keys, major chords are found on the I, IV and V (1st, 4th and 5th) degrees of the scale. Now that you have an understanding of what a power chord is, let’s take a look at the common ways to play it on the guitar fretboard. Power chords are notated via the root note and a 5, representing the 5th: G5, A5, D5, etc. If played over a minor chord progression they take on a minor feel. If played over a major chord progression, they tend to take on a major chord feel. The power chord omits the 3rd degree, which means power chords are neither major nor minor.
