newbie to power chords

Smoke on the Water, Iron Man, Heat of the Moment, Cocaine, Back in Black, Sunshine of Your Love, Lonely is the Night, Baba O'Reilly (Teenage Wasteland), Round 'N Round, Bang Your Head (Metal Health), Slow Ride, Come On Feel the Noise, No One Like You, Rock You Like a Hurricane, Dani California, Blue Collar Man (Long Nights), and these are most of the ones I know.  Of course, pretty much any style of rythym guitar will use power chords, so check out rythym parts to some songs from bands like AC/DC and Lynyrd Skynyrd.  All the ones I mentioned above are probably playable for a begginer.  Good luck!

Powerchords are great ... I love them ... for songs there are alot of bands that use them for rhythm (which I primarily play) ... ACDC, GreenDay, Social Distortion, The Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest are good places to start

My first song I learned was Living After Midnight by Judas Priest and Rock You Like A Hurricane by The Scorpions

GreenDay can be a little tricky (the tempos are usually fast and quick moving) ...Priest and Social Distortion are great ... not to fast on the changes but they sound GREAT if you have a Les Paul

That IS fun!  I've done that on some songs that arent necessarily "powerchord'ed" ... A few weeks ago I heard the song The Seeker from The Who and gave it a go with powerchord formations and it actually sounded BRILLIANT

Wow that's pretty sweet ... I wish you would have had a video too ... that would have been awesome ... especially since a buddie of mine is such a Beatles nut he would have liked it ... you wouldn't happen to have it tabbed would you?  lol

That'd be awesome if you could grab it bro ... I'd really like to give it a try
