How to play F5
About the F power chord chord
Playing it
On guitar, the usual F5 shape is 133xxx at the 1st fret. It has no open strings, so it’s a movable shape — slide it along the neck for other power chord chords. Don’t strum the G, B and high E strings.
On piano, F5 sits entirely on white keys.
On ukulele the usual F5 shape is x013, using two fingers.
