Power Trio: Difference between revisions

{{Useful Notes|wppage=Power trio}}

Commonly found in rock and roll lineups, a '''[[wikipedia:Power trio|Power Trio]]''' is a rock and roll, hard rock, or heavy metal band of [[trio|three members]]: one playing electric guitar, one playing electric bass, and one playing drums. They leave out the rhythm guitarist or keyboard player on purpose. The Power Trio is essentially rock and roll with a bare minimum of musicians, with one member, usually bass and never drums, doubling on vocals and the guitarist doubling the rhythm and lead parts. The Power Trio is thus commonly found in bands that stick to [[Three Chords and the Truth]], though the format had its roots in bands that were more experimental with their music.

* The Sonic triplets in ''[[Sonic Underground]]'' are an Organ Trio, with Sonia on keyboard.
