Anyone know any good solo power chord songs/tabs/tutorials?

I really want a good example to mess about with.

Just recently started learning them and I'm loving them. Would love a song that incorporates them.
Struggling to find any tbh and thought maybe someone would have a suggestion. Just love the sound, especially A5.

Thanks for your time guys,

Tom :cool:
 
ANY song, that just consists of the 3 major chords (I,IV,V, example Cmaj, Fmaj and Gmaj) can easily be played as a power chord song. Power chords should be easy so don't overthink it.

I always think Nirvina's Smells Like Teen Spirit.
 
Power chords, or 5th chords, are used a lot in classic rock. Replace your normal major chords in 'Allright now' (Free) or anything by AC/DC with a 'neither major nor minor' power chords, and voila.

Rock guitarist often use the trick of playing only a few of their six strings, either by strumming just the bottom or the top ones, or dampening that string that sounds the middle note of your chord (the one that shifts, when you switch between a major or minor variant of a chord). It's often easier than playing a 5th chord on all strings.
