In focus - Power chords - - Music Seek |
 | | Specifically, the term refers to the powerful and distinct sonic effect caused by the combination of two pitch classes separated by the interval of a perfect fifth (or its inversion, a perfect fourth) when subjected to a degree of distortion, usually through adequate amplification or other electronic processing, (e.g., a fuzz box). |
 | | Since power chords lack a third, they are ambiguous as to mode: they are neither major or minor. |
 | | Power chords, however, are not composed of independent parts that happen to coincide. |
