yeah, in classical terms a chord is composed of 4 notes, root, third, fifth, and the doubling of one of these notes,
but in popular terms, whenever there's two notes, you call it a chord and that is a POWER CHORD! it consist of a root and a perfect fifth -------------------- Visit my:

Some people call them 5 chords or 5th chords. I don't know what the proper terminology is. I call them Black Sabbath chords.

I would call them A5, D5 & C5. That's the way I always saw power chords written in guitar mags

Yes, this is 5th interval (interval: two notes ringing simultaneously). Root and fifth.
Example: A and E.  On distortion, these two notes came out more defined and consonant then other because of the nature of the fifth interval. Here is one more example with another A added:  Here, you have 3 intervals ringing: from A (low E string) to E (fifth), from E to A (D string) (fourth), from A to A (octave). This is also powerchord, as all combined intervals are perfect and tend to have more strength and "power" then other intervals, because they aren't dissonant. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
