What notes are in F5?
F5, F power chord, is F and C: the root (F) and the perfect fifth (C). Its formula is 1 5.
Is F5 major or minor?
Neither. F5 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 F5 instead of F or Fm?
In rock, yes: power chords stand in for both.
