Lesson #47: Power Chords in C# / Db (Guitar, Beginner)

Power chords in C# (seven sharps): C#5, D#5, E#5, F#5, G#5, A#5, and B#5.

Power chords in Db (five flats): Db5, Eb5, F5, Gb5, Ab5, Bb5, and C5.

Technically, the B#5 or C5 should have a diminished (flattened) fifth, but let's not let that get in the way of a potentially awesome power chord riff!

Obviously, we've mixed and matched both in the chord charts below, as both keys are enharmonic with the other:
