F Power Chord
F5 is made of 2 notes: F and C. Here it is in root position, with F at the bottom.
Inside Notley Piano: all the inversions of F5, fingering for both hands, a play button, and practice that helps you remember it.
| Note | Degree | Interval from F |
|---|---|---|
| F | 1 | root |
| C | 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.
