1. do you guys regularly add 6th and 9th notes to your major chords within your chord progressions?
And
2. Is it true that minor to minor chord progressions sound weak and its always better to go from a major to minor or a minor to major in chord progressions? (I find some of this theory stuff on the internet is confusing and contradictory)
And
3. Is it true that power chords only contain the root and fifth? Why are they called power chords and why do you use them? Is it only for rock music?

A power chord contains only a root and fifth, and optionally an ocatve. They are called power chords because that's how they sound You do primarily find them in guitar music, but I find them useful because they fit everywhere - they're not major, or minor, or anything. You can place them under or around pretty much anything, as long as the root note is in key.
