Yeah I'd second what H20RIDER said. I've been playing about 7 years now and I've never looked at power chords. I've never been much of metal player, usually more blues and jazz. It's interesting easily you can knock up something really metally in seconds. A really useful addition to anyone repetoir. I can see me having some good fun with this stuff.
Though I'm not a big user or fan of power chords, I found this series of 9 videos very thorough and interesting. After watching, I'm more likely to incorporate them (limited) in my playing. Thanks for these and all the other videos, John.
drop d.. you should've played she builds quick machines or slither by velvet revolver to demonstrate how cool drop d can be. unles you have those crappy sync rights

Drop G to an F#, B to an A and the high E to a D, and you have the full E chord structure in one finger. Great for slide blues playing.

I see, the traditional tuning is in 4ths, then you just make it a 5th. Nice.
