B5 Power Chord (Guitar, Beginner)


This is the B5 power chord. This version of the chord contains three notes: The root note (B), its perfect 5th (F#), and its octave (B).

1. Place your index finger on the A string, behind the 2nd fret. That's the B note.
2. Your middle finger will not be used in this chord. You may stick it out, as if you were flipping someone off.
3. Place your ring finger on the D string, behind the 4th fret. That's the F# note.
4. Place your pinky finger on the G string, behind the 4th fret. That's another B note, one octave higher.
5. Playing only the A, D, and G strings, rock that power chord!
