I usedto think it was all 5th chords too but it's not. The reason it soundslike 5th chords is because there are two guitars playing, as well asthick layering during recording. I've watched video of them playingand they use single notes more than anything else.-- Kyle (ImportMini@aol.com)Intro (All Power/5th chords):=============================E F# G A F# A F# E A E F# G A
