Gb 5 Guitar Chord | Play, Hear and Practice Interactively

The Gb5 chord, the Gb power chord, uses Gb and Db: a root and a perfect fifth, played without a third. It sounds identical to F#5, and flat-key music tends to write it this way, as in Gb major or Eb minor.

One shape is listed for it, covering frets 2 to 4, so the hand barely has to travel. Set the tempo of the drum loop in the player at the top of the page and play along until the changes feel steady. For leads, the Gb minor pentatonic scale contains both notes of the chord.
