Answer 1

Well, a simple power chord can be played (in standard EADGBE tuning) by picking a note on the low-e string, or a-string for a higher sound. When you've found the note you want, you want to hold it with your index finger, while your ring and little fingers go to the two strings below your index, then two frets higher. Now you will be holding your root note, it's 5th, and it's 8th (or octave). That is a power chord, now that your fingers are in the right place, strum just the three strings your fingers are holding (if your root-note was on low-E, then the EAD strings). There you have it, you're on your way to writing a rock song.

Answer 2

Power chords are easy. They're not really chords just the bottom three strings in a minor shape. They usually figure in 'songs' that have little musical merit and the chords are distorted so playing real music isn't possible. If you must play such junk then all you do is play a barre chord and only hit the bottom three strings so for an 'E'; you would play E, B and E on the 6th, 5th and 4th strings. Barre on F with F, C and F and so on up the neck. If you want a quick change from, say, an A to a D you could move up a string so bar the 5th fret and play A, E and A on 6th, 6th and 4th then D, A and D on 5th, 4th and 3rd,

Easy.
