Power Chord

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.

I'm going to play a Power Chord by fretting G, D and another G.

shitting chords

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.

I had some funky tacos yesterday and this morning I was shitting chords.

2. Someone who performs oral pleasures on a male, (as in "slurping" the "chord.")

Ex.

Robert - I hate these new kinds of vacuums, you know? Like, at least the old ones had chord slurpers on them.
Hannah - A what?
Robert - You know, one of those things that slurps the chord back into the vacuum so I don't have to do it my self.

power chords

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.

Ninja Chord

Usually played on guitar, but just the same on piano, this is a series of notes that requires the player to stretch their hands out as far as humanly possible.

I can't believe all that Ninja Chords that Al DiMeola played tonight!
