"Real" chords or power chords?
Gang, I've been learning the guitar for say, 6 months self-taught. Last two week I'd been practicing triad chords like hell. I decided to put them into a love song of mine that I wrote specifically for real chords. And you know what? It just didn't sound right. It didn't send out the right message I wanted to send out.
So what now? Should I continue learning real chords or stick to something I'm much better at, power chords? Also, with punk/garage/rock and roll, what do you think is the triad chord/power chord ratio being used?

Green Day? Nickelback? I wish you wouldn't use the observational selection fallicy to support your "reasoning". I mean of the literally thousands of good rock bands that play power chords, you choose the worst, Green Day and Nickelback (and Dookie was actually a good album, you bastard)
Gonzo said:imo full chords are 60's fuzz nugget psych folk neo garage punk, power chords should be left for the likes of Green Day & Nickelback. In answer to your question....either way your going to learn how to play both. -

W E I R D O N I A said:Actually there are no power chords in Blue Orchid..
He's using an POG octave generator, and he used his whammy live
Oh, I guess they do sound more like octaves than power chords. What's a POG?
I'd also like to mention that, surprisingly or not, Johnny Ramone used barre chords. -

Okay, I'm going to close this discussion. From now on can we please take these sort of topics over to the Bands & Musicians Group? Cheers.

People talk about the music of the late 60s-70s like it was all Janis Joplin or Jimi Hendrix, but Bubblegum is what actually got played on the radio (AM, at least).
