Playing open fifths on the guitar can be very effective. You can move between chords and not worry about whether they're major or minor.
It's a technique particularly common in rock music (try it with full distortion on - sounds great!), but we also found
it
in the opening of the recent mellow hit by Avril Lavigne 'I'm With You'. The cello plays the root of each chord to
create a great atmosphere.
