He's describing the effect that happens when you play a perfect fourth with a distorted guitar. Distortion intensifies the intermodulation effect between the two strings to produce sum-tones and difference-tones.
$4.5.$5.5 $4.5.$5.5.$6.3 $4.6.$5.6 $4.6.$5.6.$6.4
$4.7.$5.7 $4.7.$5.7.$6.5
Basically playing the partial power-chord makes it sound like a full power-chord.
