My friend Dexter taught me how to make the "A5" power chord. When I play it
on my real Telecaster, it sounds plain badass. I hope to learn more of
these power chords and maybe write my own songs soon.

Lots of songs these days have expelled the concept of chord changes, so A5,
also known as A(no3), should take you a long way. Try A7(+9). It's
spelled A-C#-E-G-B#. Tasty.

I tried a Bb power chord but it hurt my fingers. Dexter said he's teaching
me an E chord next.

Try an F minor 6 on a 5 string banjo. Sweet.

Hah! I've been a professional musician for 28 years, and I've never heard
a power chord referred to as something long and black...

I've got an orange one and a black one.

Whats the difference between a sound man and a musician?

Sound men can only count to two. Testing, one, two.

Musicians can count to four but are uncertain
One, two, three, ---- one, two, three, four.
