A power riff is simply a set of power chords that are repeated. Power chords are separated into 2 and 3 string power chords. The basics of all power chords is the 1st finger on what is called the root note. This is the note of the name of the power chord, so for a D5 chord your first finger would be on the 5th fret of the A string. Using 2 string power chords, the little finger is then placed on next string up (up as in a higher sound), so in the case of a D5 chord the D string, and 2 frets higher, the 7th fret. When using 3 string power chords, the little finger covers the next [b]2[/b] strings, so in the case of the D5 the D and G strings. Those are the basics of power chords. D5: X C5: X E5: 0 5 3 2 7 5 (2) (7) (5) X X X X X X X
