C♯5
C♯ Power Chord · 3 fingerings
The power chord is just C♯ and its fifth — no third at all, so it's neither major nor minor. That's exactly why it works under distortion, where a third would turn muddy: C♯5 stays clean and huge no matter how much gain you add. The foundation of punk, metal, and hard rock, and movable anywhere on the neck with one shape.
