In guitar, if you know the basic chords can you still learn as much songs as you do with power chords?

Answer 1

open chords are more often used in acoustic songs,
Power chords sound different and you can't very easiliy play an open chord for A# or E flat, so no, they each have a place.

Answer 2

You will learn more in my opinion as a musician. With power chords you are just playing a 5th Chord which is limiting. For example if you are playing a C power chord it will fit with a C major chord or a C minor chord, but when you get into diminished chords and augmented chords a power chord won't work, because those type of chords do not have a 5th, so therefore they would clash. Now if you are reffering to punk then power chords are all you have to know with the occasional triad chord. As far as Jazz and more complex forms of music just knowing power chords won't cut it.

Answer 3

yes and no.
yes, but you would need to use a capo to change keys.
no, using a capo limits the use of the full fret board which could affect your ability to play all of the notes in a song written with power chords, and the chords may not have the exact same sound.
power chords are easier to play than basic chords. you should learn that technique if you want to learn popular music.
