Yup, two strings (root, fifth) or three strings (root, fifth, root).They are either major or minor but that's up to their harmonic context i.e. your imagination.

Very often when Keith plays boogie, Ronnie will play power chords. On IORR, for example.

The Rolling Stones - Let's Spend The Night Together (The Vault Hampton Coliseum Live In 1981)
This is what Keith does so great playing power chords into his riffing and guitar parts throughout the song.

The opening chords of Not fade away are power chords avant la lettre. And although Brian played all the notes of the Last time riff seperately, the chords are power chords. Also the opening riff of She Saïd yeah are power chords.

I've never fully gotten to grips with power-chords. Open chords and bar chards, yes. When I read the term 'power-chord', I inevitably think of an act like Green Day. I don't believe, say, The Beatles, made much use of this method. Someone's going to correct me, now!
