A common 'chord' used mostly in gutiar based music. It is made by playing the root, 5th and 8th.

For the person who said that parallel 5ths and 8ths shouldn't be even used, I think you'll find this is only relevant to Baroque and Classical music. What about Debussy and his use of 5ths and 8ths? In the right context, it can sound fine.

So please, stop living in the 18th century.

When your poop comes out in three pieces - all slightly increasing sizes, with the quantify representing the three ascending frequencies of a musical chord.

Alternate definition - when making a loud poop, your farts are so fast and furious they overlap three times to produce a musical chord.

Hannah - A what?

a major chord contains the 1, 3rd, and 5th notes in the major scales. a power chord omits the 3rd, and inludes only the fifth. powerchords often include the 8th, which is really just the 1st, an octave higher.
