Chords by perfect fourth are ambiguous in that, like all chords built by equidistant intervals (diminished seventh chords or augmented triads), any member can function as the root. The indifference of this rootless harmony to tonality places the burden of key verification upon the voice with the most active melodic line.

The key note, or tonic, of a piece of music is called note number one, the first step of (here), the ascending scale iii–IV–V. Chords built on several scale degrees are numbered likewise. Thus the chord progression E minor–F–G can be described as three–four–five, (or iii–IV–V). A chord may be built upon any note of a musical scale.
In the standard guitar-tuning, one major-third interval is interjected amid four perfect-fourth intervals. Standard tuning (listen) Among alternative tunings for guitar, each augmented-fourths tuning is a regular tuning in which the musical intervals between successive open-string notes are each augmented fourths.

Power chords are also referred to as fifth chords, indeterminate chords, or neutral chords [citation needed] (not to be confused with the quarter tone neutral chord, a stacking of two neutral thirds, e.g. C–E –G) since they are inherently neither major nor minor; generally, a power chord refers to a specific doubled-root, three-note voicing ...
Drop A – A-E-a-D-F ♯-B / A-E-a-D-G ♭-B Two and one half steps down from Drop D. This tuning is most often used by death metal or deathcore musicians, such as Betraying the Martyrs, Carnifex, Oceano, Suicide Silence, or Whitechapel (which they use seven-string guitars and tune down the seventh string a full step).

For instance, the above-mentioned C major scale contains the tritones F–B (from F to the B above it, also called augmented fourth) and B–F (from B to the F above it, also called diminished fifth, semidiapente, or semitritonus); [2] the latter is decomposed as a semitone B–C, a whole tone C–D, a whole tone D–E, and a semitone E–F ...
