Same thing. The numbers in brackets are the fret numbers. Brackets are used to avoid ambiguities between, say a --11--- (one one) and and --(11)-- (eleven).

Hi, Atul - I didn't make or own any of those apps, and I cannot vouch for any of them either. I just used them and found them useful at the time of writing this post. You could read the reviews before downloading. And you can post your review on the store about these apps too.

The 5th chord can still be analyzed as tertian. It's a triad with the 3rd removed. However, I think of power chords uniquely as 4th or 5th dyads.

4/4 means : The time allotted to each metre divided into 4 notes per meter. They may each be subdivided. The total length of the meter would be one whole note. The duration of the whole note in seconds terms is defined in the tempo mark (commonly "quarter note = 30 / 45 / 60 / 90 / etc beats per minute).

3/4 means : Similarly - 3 quarter notes per metre; total length of the meter

What you need to do is listen to the song a few times and really concentrate on the rhythm - the beat pattern, the possible strum pattern. Your ears will pick it all up. Try and stick to the rhythm and strum more. You're probably concentrating more on just the chords. But music without rhythm is no good. Practice playing strum patterns and changing chords while strumming. It should become

The braces have no special meaning. These are just used to write out double digit fret numbers to avoid misinterpretation. For example (12) means fret number 12. Without braces it might mean fret number 1 followed by 2.

Actually "the absolutely free and forever E-BOOK" that originally was in pdf has undergone so many updates and modifications and corrections that the pdf version had become dated. And I can not keep updating the pdf every few days. And hence this site itself is the e-book now - updated and corrected quickly and easily searchable. The index page is here:
