out--they don't use pure power chords most of the time. Here's Under the Surface from the Times of Grace album. It took me about 2 hours to figure it out and type it up. Enjoy. Natural harmonics on 14th fret: (Part A) e|--------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------| G|*------------------------------------------------*| D|*------------------------------------------------*| A|--14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-| E|--------------------------------------------------| . . . . . . . . (dots represent 1/8 notes) ^^ ^^ ^^ The ^ are accents. Play these notes a bit louder than the rest. This part has a ton of distortion, so these harmonics ring well. These chords fall on the accents above (keep playing part A): (Part B) |-------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------| |*-7-----------------------------------7----------| Gtr. 1 |*-7-----------------------------------7----------| |--5----------------------------------------------| |--6----------------------------------------------| | . . . . . . . . | | | |-------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------| |*-7-----------------------------------7----------| Gtr. 2 |*-7-----------------------------------7----------| |--5-----------------------------------5----------| |--6-----------------------------------6----------| . . . . . . . . |-------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------| |-(7)---------------------------------------------| Gtr. 1 |-(7)---------------------------------------------| (held from |-------------------------------------------------| previous measure) |-------------------------------------------------| | . . . . . . . . | | | |-------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------| |--3------------------3----------------3----------| Gtr. 2 |--5------------------5----------------5----------| |--5------------------5----------------5----------| |--3------------------3----------------3----------| . . . . . . . . |-------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------| |--6------------------6----------------6----------| Gtr. 1 & 2 |--7------------------7----------------7----------| |--7------------------7----------------7----------| |--5------------------5----------------5----------| . . . . . . . . |-------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------| |--10-----------------10---------------10--------*| Gtr. 1 & 2 |--7------------------7----------------7---------*| |--8------------------8----------------8----------| |-------------------------------------------------| . . . . . . . .

That repeats 8 times, then all instruments cut out except for a single guitar playing heavily distorted and reverbed "volume swell" notes, and a sparse bass drum. If you really care, the notes are a freestyle mix of A, F, and D (string 2 fret 10, string 3 fret 10, and string 1 fret 10, respectively). After a while, play part C and double it an octave lower with Gtr. 2 ("Your shell is hollow / Your shell is hollow / So am I / The rest will follow / The rest will follow / So will I / So will I").
