So, if you play the above, you will get an A and a D power chord respectively. An interesting thing to note about the power chord is that it can be used regardless whether the note is a major or a minor. So, that means if you're playing a song in the key of G (you have an Am in the family of G), you...

So, if you play the above, you will get an A and a D power chord respectively. An interesting thing to note about the power chord is that it can be used regardless whether the note is a major or a minor. So, that means if you're playing a song in the key of G (you have an Am in the family of G), you just need to play the above power chord A. You don't have to play an Am (there is no power chord Am anyway). Generally, power chords are used by electric guitar players. They also add effects to it such as distortion, and it sound pretty nice, especially for rock or heavier song.I would not suggest you to use them in acoustic songs - unless you want the song to sound heavy. read less

A power chord refers to a chord that contains only the root and the perfect fifth.Power chords usually just have two unique notes, a root, a fifth and an octave of the root. If you only ever use power chords there is a lot less tension and resolution in the song, ie not very interesting. The term barre chord is only a reference to the left hand technique of holding more than one string down with one finger. It has nothing to do with what notes you are actually playing. It doesn't imply that you're playing a major or minor chord necessarily, even though that might often be the case. read less

Which instrument is better, the veena or the guitar?
The answer is subjective and is based on your likes and dislikes. Both instruments cannot be compared to each other because they're played with different styles and based on different genres.

How did the guitar become such a popular instrument?
Guitars are reasonably portable and relatively inexpensive. Following the invention of the pickup they became easy to amplify so as to fill a venue with sound, and relatively easy to record.
