E5
notes
The chord E5 is made up of these notes:
E
B
play
strum
The E5 chord, often known as a power chord, consists of just two notes: E and B, making it incredibly straightforward yet powerful. Built with a root note (E) and a perfect fifth (B), it lacks the third note that would normally define it as major or minor, giving it a clean, open sound. This chord is a staple in rock and heavy metal genres, thanks to its bold, punchy quality. It's often used for driving rhythms and energetic riffs, providing a strong foundation without overwhelming complexity. In chord progressions, E5 adds intensity and power, often serving as a building block for louder, more aggressive sections of a song.
InversionsChord inversions refer to the different ways you can play a chord by rearranging the order of its notes. When a chord is inverted, one or more notes are shifted up an octave, changing the "bass" or lowest note of the chord. Even though the notes remain the same, the overall sound and feel of the chord changes depending on which note is the lowest.
