Ah, the power chord. When all else fails, we always have that comfortable perfect 5th interval to fall back on. But doesn't it ever get kind of boring after a while? I think we tend to favor this efficient 2-note combination because it can lend itself to major or minor chords without allowing us to commit to the deciding 3rd interval. While this lends itself to a lot of versatility and consonance, I think these qualities may cause the power chord to feel stale and predictable after a while. Plus, it can cause us to feel bored and stuck. Fortunately, there's quite a lot we can do about that. In this lesson, I'm going to share with you some of the best power chord alternatives that will add a lot of intriguing flavors to enhance your playing. These variations are simple, powerful, and can complement heavier styles of music quite nicely. Grab your axe, take a seat, and let's get ready to rock.
