Power Chords With RealGuitar and Realstrat

[ClassicMan]

I have the latest versions of RealGuitar and RealStrat on Windows 10/11 With Reaper.

I'm unable to find any power chords among the provided sets of chord patterns.

The only way I can think of is to load a strumming pattern in Reaper then edit the pattern in PRV or Notation view to remove the third of the chord.

I thought I would just check if there is another way.

Thanks.

I've just found another way is to use the upper and lower strings settings to sound just the lower strings of 5 and 6 or 4 and 6. This works well.

ClassicMan,

Note that in Song mode you can use 5th chords with any strumming pattern, which are actually power chords.

Regards,
Sergey

Thanks Sergey.

Where do I find the option of 5th chords in the 'Song' mode.

I've entered a chords progression which plays back as written but I'm unable to find that power chords option.

Thanks

Ok I've found it in the chords wheel (5) when entering chords.

Thanks.
