Let's Add Another Chord to the F# Riff

If you don't know how to read guitar tab (as computer text), this section of a Wikipedia article may help.

We're continuing writing this riff by making it an F#5 power chord. Let's add an A5 power chord, and we're on our way to writing a seedling for a song:


F#5 A5
e|--------------------------
B|--------------------------
G|--------------------------
D|--------------------------
A|--4--4--4-----7--7--7-----
E|--2--2--2--0--5--5--5--0--
