How do you apply power chords on the Guitar??

Guys, how d'u place these power chords??

I've heard that its just playing he basws strings or som'in like that.....

 

No buddy!!! as far as i know power chords are a different set of chords altogether and it neednt be only bass.like normal chords there is a set of power chords too.u need to find out that from the web.

 

Power chords = punk rock chord (as quoted by Paul Gilbert)

Usually powerchords are root note and 5th.

Graphically:
e---
b---
g---
D---
A-5-
E-3-

This is G5 power chord



But to add more meat, you can add one more note (octave):
e---
b---
g---
D-5-
A-5-
E-3-


You can also play it inverted (that is the 5th + octave, no root note):
e---
b---
g---
D-5-
A-5-
E---

 

And dude one more thing.
