About the A power chord
A power chord consists of just the root and perfect fifth, with no third. This absence of the third makes it neither major nor minor, giving it a strong, neutral, and aggressive sound. Power chords are the backbone of rock, punk, metal, and grunge, where they are typically played with distortion on electric guitar.
