Power Chords for Bass - Bass Musician Magazine

Holly Franklin Basschick breaks down Power Chords for Bass.

Power Chords are one of many favorite chords to play on bass because they are so versatile!
They can be used to create a quick change in a bass line or to create whole songs.

These three noted chords are comprised of the root, 5th and octave. They are written with the note name and a 5 after it. (Ex. A5; F#5)

These can be used with any type of scale because they are not comprised of any specific scale.

I have found these to be used a lot in rock and metal music.but that’s not to say it isn’t utilized anywhere else. I have incorporated these chords in my own songs and when I transpose other music.

I have used Black Sabbath and DIO as examples of artists that have utilized power chords in their songs.
