Root +5th+7th+octave. And root+2nd+4th+5th. Or actually the same chord but one with the root in the bass and one with the 4th in the bass. So I could also write that as root+5th+7th+octave and 4th+5th+7th+octave. So, chords with no 3rds but not just power chords. Just writing out a song for the other guitarist and I'd like to appear a smart arse! Ta.

    :) that's a big smiley face cause you can't put them in new Discussion opening posts for some reason.

    Depending on the context it's just a "no third". Lots of jazz voicings miss the third

    Yep. Minor or dominant 7ths, depending on where your inner voice hears the 3rd. Can fit either. Best to call it a power chord with a sus 4 and a dominant 7th.

    Ahh, cheers. :) it's in a blues, I think the solo guitar over it is blues scale stuff so that will be playing between minor and major thirds I guess.
