B Power (5) Chord on Violin

Play B Power (5) on Violin: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.

The B Power (5) chord is a power chord (root and fifth, no third), neutral between major and minor and a staple of rock and metal. It is built from the notes B, F#. This page shows how to play B Power (5) on Violin with clear fingerboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.

Violin is bowed, with a bare fingerboard and no fixed stops, so this is really a double-stop study: two strings at a time speak cleanly, and the full stack is rolled rather than sounded at once.

On Violin it can be played in open position using open strings and in higher positions further up the fingerboard, so you can match the voicing to the passage's range.

Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on B or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
