Take any power chord in standard E tuning...say the A chord and slide your index finger down one fret. What are these chords call?

Anyway, guitar is in standard E tuning...Play a C power chord ok, so you have you index finger on the A string 3rd fret, and ring finger on the D string on the 5th fret...a C chord right. Now slide your index finger and ONLY your index finger down to the 2nd fret...What is this chord called??? You can play this chord with any power chord, is it a flat or something???

Sorry for being no help, I should know seeing as I'm studying music theory but I don't :?

that doesn't make any sense...unless you're also playing the 4th string on the 7th fret, which would be technically wrong for the chord. see my original reply for the correct answer.Lemmie":d5549 said:

if you wanted to play the "correct" notes for that chord shape, you'd play the 4th fret of the E string (G#), the 7th fret of the A string (E), and optionally, the 6th fret of the D string (G#)....making an E major chord in first inversion with no 5th.
the problem is, the OP never mentioned what they were doing with the third note, if anything....that is, if you were playing it on the lowest 3 strings, the 4th string was never specifically mentioned by the OP, so i would say that they're playing the inverted major triad without the 5th.Lemmie":cd031 said:
