📌REVISION: I decided after publishing to cut out a segment from this video about how the harmonic series causes major and minor chords to sound muddy when distorted. This is because, on reflection, I feel my explaination for why this happens was incomplete and really that topic was beyond the scope of this video anyway. I will revisit the topic in a dedicated video in the future. Sorry for any confusion caused.

Power chords, or fifth chords, are a staple of guitar music. Despite the simple sound and shape, there is a lot to discuss when it comes to fifth chords, with even their classifcation as 'chords' up for debate!

And, an extra special thanks goes to Peter Keller, Douglas Lind, Vidad Flowers, Ivan Pang, Waylon Fairbanks, Jon Dye, Austin Russell, Christopher Ryan, Toot & Paul Peijzel, the channel’s Patreon saints! 😇
