Dear Tibernius and Cytania.
I love power chords, even on an acoustic guitar.
I want to tell you, that even loving a power chord, I use MORE THE USUAL chords, pulling/picking the strings resulting in a similar power chord.
Probably the risk to "destroy a string" is present, a lot more than using a power chord.
Example:
- Honky tonk woman (Rolling Stones), if you play this song acoustic and slower, you have the song
COUNTRY HONK
This song starts in G, followed by C and D. I played that song with power chords, and also with the classic G, C and D, strumming down, and back. When strumming back up, I pull on 2 or 3 strings, providing me a kind of power chord.
Do you remember Frijid Pink's interpretation of the HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN? They used power chords, distortion included.
Tibernius, do you consider that interpretation of that song as a power chord song?
