How appropriate that our 5th meeting is a discussion of 5th chords- and some practice of "Love me Do" and "Saving Grace".
At the end of "Saving Grace", the guitarist plays the I,IV,V chord progression as 5th chords- AKA power chords. They have no third, so therefore have no tonality (Not major or minor)The notation looks like this C5,F5,G5 instead of C,F,G.
The F chord is in the first fret, and I illustrate how the F major voicing they learned last week fits on top of the Root and the Fifth of the F5 chord. Together, they form a complete 6 string voicing.
We play a bunch od classic 5th chord tunes too- Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, and Iron Man by Black Sabbath.
