power chord:
In rock, punk and metal music, a power chord is a bare fifth, or a similar chord, usually played on electric guitar with distortion.
Although the use of the term power chord has, to some extent, spilled over into the vocabulary of other instrumentalists, namely keyboard and synthesiser players, it remains, essentially, a part of rock guitar culture and is most strongly associated with the overdriven electric guitar styles of hard rock, heavy metal, punk rock, and similar genres.
The term "power chord" is used to refer to a perfect fifth (or its inversion, a perfect fourth), with or without octave doubling, in rock music, especially when played on electric guitar with distortion. The same interval is also found in traditional and classical music, played by instruments such as classical guitars, ukuleles, mandolins, harps and xylophones; but in that context, it is not usually called a power chord, but just a bare fifth.
It is sometimes notated 5, as in C5 (C power chord).
