Whether or not BB plays the two-note Power Chord for an entered C5 is indeed Style dependent.

There are Rock styles that are designed to only play the actual root and fifth, check out some of the Hevmet styles, etc.

But many of the Jazz styles do not have the two note chord in any of the internal selections. The Power Chord is not exactly a common thing in Jazz and other styles.

Those styles will have the third and possibly other embellishments typical to Jazz playing (such as the Dom7 or perhaps the Maj6, etc.) in their patterns and since that is all that is available to play and since that is what a Jazz pianist or guitarist would ordinarily play, those styles may indeed play something other than the rock Power Chord.

Even given that, though, I don't know if using C5 in any of those other styles would reliably yield the given C chord structure for any of the guitars, or whether it would perchance even have that particular voicing/fingering in it at all.
