  Blimey Steve.. I think your reaction reveals a lot more about you then it does anyone involved in the OP.

  JW’s talk, preach, print and moralise more about the private sex lives of others then any other religion. They are

  obsessed about it. You all well know too that if a witness is discovered to have broken those made up laws they can be disfellowshipped for it. Considering the weighty seriousness of this intimate and personal privacy invasion

  by these people then this is a completely valid topic of discussion with any of it’s representatives that bring

  their rubbish religion and all it entails to your doorstep. They seek to control every single area of peoples lives.. so that makes every single area up for discussion and bugger their blushes.

  The original poster has nothing whatsoever to feel bad about.

  Terry Walstrom, One should not have to sign up to anything to simply read some text is my view. A Google Doc is limited in that can only be properly enjoyed by those with a Google account.. a pdf can be enjoyed by anyone.

  That's just what I got Terry when I copied and pasted. Formatting is still off and there are still hyperlinks for some reason.

  I'll create a pdf version then.

  Thank you Terry this is really brilliant! Except that using Google Docs somehow causes the formatting to go completely awol and askew and for some reason the document is peppered with a whole series of hyperlinks that lead nowhere.

  Is there any chance you could create a simple Word version as I'd love to pass this on to some mental health practitioners?

  But I was not aware or exposed to them until I heard Van Halen.

  The first hit song built around power chords was The Kinks's "You Really Got Me" released in 1964 (Walser 1993, p.9):

  I don't think they existed back in the 60's

  Or as you infer whether they exist at all.

  These chords including the so called 'power chords' are as old as tertial harmony itself and have been in use for going on 500 years. Certainly long before '70's pop & rock' musicians think they invented them. These are not even true power chords if such a thing even exists. True power chords consist of just a root, a 5th and usually a second stacked root an octave higher.

  Quote:
  Theorists are divided on whether a power chord can be considered a chord in the traditional sense, with some requiring a 'chord' to contain a minimum of three degrees of the scale. When the same interval is found in traditional and classical music, it would not usually be called a "chord", and may be considered to be a dyad (separated by an interval ). However, the term is accepted as a pop and rock music term, most strongly associated with the overdriven electric guitar styles of hard rock , heavy metal , punk rock , and similar genres. The use of the term "power chord" has, to some extent, spilled over into the vocabulary of other instrumentalists, such as keyboard and synthesizer players.

  Although drop D is the obvious clue and the simple single finger power bar chords, the actual harmony is just a series of stacked perfect 4ths (possible Root, perfect 4th and flattened 7th) This could even be interpreted in a very modern 'out there' jazz style in the style of Mccoy Tyner. (John Coltrane's piano player). I love these chords.. I find their inherent instability and dissonance very satisfying.

  Played at the 5th fret any of these could be the chord name:

  A7sus4	A 7th Suspended 4th
  Dsus4/A	D/A Suspended 4th
  Gsus2/A	G/A Suspended 2nd
