Ummm.. some newbie guitar questions here (I ain't been playing long):

What's the difference between a power chord and a.. not a power chord?

How do you get up to learning barre chords? I mean, eveyrone says you shouldn't skip them, and you should just practice them, but if you can't even get anywhere near to doing the chord when you try it, what the hell are you practicing?

In a nutshell, are there any tips of trying to practice barre chords for a beginner? I'm determined to get them right.

A power chord is one where you only strum two strings. A chord is when you strum more.

The only advice I have for bar chords is to just learn them and practice like hell. Eventually they'll come right.

Though this is coming from someone who never payed attention in lessons, and just started teaching himself.

I'm teaching myself. I can only read tabs.. Not Chords lol. What are some good songs to learn first? A week after I got my Washburn I broke a string so it's been like a month since I've been able to play. I've learned the start of Demolition Lovers and Give Em Hell Kid n Thank You For The Venom but I feel stuck... What songs should I learn first?

I learnt "Cancer" first it's slow paced and pretty easy to learn.
Then "Seven Nation Army" By the White Stripes, because it's really easy with a simple guitar solo that can get you started.

To some-on up the top that said so,mething about learning chords,
Tabs are good but not always accurate, chords are the main thing ot learn i think because then you can use music books and play them using the right chords.

Disenchated is a good song to learn first.

I was taking lessons but had to stop.
I got up to power chords & strumming.
What should I attempt to learn next?

Umm, basically you can play any Mcr song now.

Oh, and also in most of their power chords, they play only three notes, but they mute the middle one by not putting their finger all the way down, so only two notes sound out.

Just take the side of your picking hand and rest it against the strings, as near the bridge as possible. Move the palm up and down to achieve the right sound.

hmmm will someone explain how exactly you're supposed to play a power chord?
cause i get strumming, but are you just supposed to pluck to strings at the same time...?
cause in a lot of the tabs ive seen, the two strings im supposed to be playing are seperated by a third string thats NOT supposed to be played...

i mean really.....................HELP???!?
