Think power chords minus the root. That and the blues scale can take

Power chords minus the root? Whoa, isn't that, by definition, th
5th?

I think he means it you played a 3 note power chord like for instance a...

6th string 5th fret
5th string 7th fret and
4th string 7th fret

Now play the chord without using the A on the 6th string. Technically the
root is still there but doubled at the octave onthe 4th string. with the 5th
now being inverted a 4th below. Classic Richie Blackmore chord voicing.

That's what I'm talkin' about.
