Let’s start with the root six version. So I’m going to go to the sixth string fourth fret to make this G sharp power chord with my index finger. And I need two other fingers in the power chord formula. I’m going to go to the fifth string sixth fret and the fourth string sixth fret. I have X’s on strings three, two and one. And this will make an A flat or G sharp power chord.

Now if I want to make the root five version, I have to go fifth string. I’m going to take my index and go all the way up to the eleventh fret and my two other notes, same shape as before. I’ve got the fourth string thirteenth fret and the third string thirteenth fret. There are X’s on strings six, two and one. And that’s going to create the root five G sharp power chord.
