What notes are in F♯5?
F♯5, F♯ power chord, is F♯ and C♯: the root (F♯) and the perfect fifth (C♯). Its formula is 1 5.
Is F♯5 major or minor?
Neither. F♯5 is F♯ and C♯, with no third, which is why it works under major and minor songs alike and stays clear with distortion.
Can I play F♯5 instead of F♯ or F♯m?
In rock, yes: power chords stand in for both.
