Powerchords: open position

Powerchords can also be played lower down the neck in the guitar’s open position. To save you worrying about how you adjust the shape to account for the open strings we’ve mapped them out here for you. Hopefully you already know open E, A and D chords. Notice how the powerchords are made up of three notes from each of the open chords. For example, this E5 shape uses three notes from the open E chord.
