A5 Chord (A Power Chord) on Piano & Guitar
Here's a piano keyboard and guitar fretboard reference to the
A5 chord, also known as
A 5th,
A power chord or
A no 3rd.
The notes of the
A5 chord are
A E.
The intervals of the
A5 chord are the root
(A) and the perfect fifth
(E). Since five chords don't
have a major or minor third, they don't have a distinctive major or minor
feel.
Five chords are often used on the guitar and are known as power chords. When
played on the piano, they are often played with an extra root note on top, an
extra A in the case of the
A5 chord.
