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