A Flat Power Chord (also written G#5)
Ab5 is made of 2 notes: Ab and Eb. Here it is in root position, with Ab at the bottom.
Inside Notley Piano: all the inversions of Ab5, fingering for both hands, a play button, and practice that helps you remember it.
| Note | Degree | Interval from Ab |
|---|---|---|
| Ab | 1 | root |
| Eb | 5 | perfect 5th |
A power chord is just the root and the 5th, with no 3rd, so it is neither major nor minor. It sounds strong and clean with distortion, which is why rock and metal use it so much.
