I keep seeing 'power chords' mentioned in rock tabs but don't get how they differ from regular chords. Are they just incomplete versions or is there a specific sound or context they're used for? Any explanation would help a beginner like me understand when to use which.
What's the difference between power chords and full chords?

Oh man, power chords were such a mystery to me at first too! Back when I was struggling to switch between chords smoothly on jazz tunes, trying to play some rock riffs in-between just made my head spin. Then I finally got it: power chords are stripped-down beasts—just root and fifth, no third, so they sound neither major nor minor, perfect for that raw rock grit. Try playing one when a full chord feels too "polite" for your style, you'll feel the difference instantly.
