power chords just play D and the 5th note which is A together. In carnatic language you will play a Sa and a Pa - but basically it is a fifth away. So a D5 is D and an A played together and no other notes. It may be easier than playing a three note or four note chord. It also gives the jamming rock sound often heard in many rock/pop songs. In rock music most often played on the high strings (top ones) and with often with palm muting. Have fun.
