Octave Chord

A power chord with the 5th note taken out(the middle note). A musical note and it's octave played together. Frequently played on the A and G strings to sound high-pitched. Used very much in Leftover Crack, Choking Victim and No Cash's music to make up-beat high-pitched riffs. A very good example of these chords in a song is the intro of Ever And A Day by A.F.I.

Octave Chord

Like a power chord, except you're missing out a string. They give a fuller sound than a power chord. They're commonly used by bands such as Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Falling In Reverse and Avenged Sevenfold
Octave Chords are the best chords.
