Let’s focus on the 4+1 Guitar-major genre – Rock, Metal, Punk, Country, and Pop.
* Why is Pop using that much minor?
* Why do both Country and Pop use little Power chords
* Why is Rock using less power chords compare to punk and Metal?

I have extreme doubts about the quality of any data set/analysis that would result with power chords being only 5% of the chords used in punk…
Same with jazz having more basic triads than 7ths and other extended chords…

I did a longer analysis with a few other visualizations [here](https://www.cantgetmuchhigher.com/p/i-analyzed-chord-progressions-in). I think the biggest gap with this dataset is that most power chords are not notated as power chords on Ultimate-Guitar.
