In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A power chord is a simple chord that’s popular in rock music and is comprised of 2 notes. To start the shape of the chord, press down on the first fret of guitar on the top string, or 6th string, to form the first note in the power chord.  The root note is the note that your index finger is on. Since your holding down the first fret on the top string, this power chord is an F. The strings go in sequential order, starting from the bottom, or 1st string, and going to to the top, or 6th string. To complete the chord, hold down the third fret on the second string from the top, or 5th string, while holding down the first fret of the top string. It may take some practice to hold down both strings at the same time. This is known as the power chord shape and can be replicated anywhere on the 5th and 6th string of the fretboard. Strum the 6th and 5th strings on the guitar to play the F power chord. It should sound clear and the string’s individual notes should come together for a full chord. Play the chord several times until your hands feel comfortable in the position. Do not strum the other 4 strings because the chord won’t sound good. Move your left hand down 2 frets, or one whole step, to play the G power chord. Keep the same shape that you did when you held down the first and third fret, but this time hold down the third and fifth frets. Alternate between the F and G power chord to create a melody. You can play power chords almost anywhere on the 5th or 6th strings. For instance, hold down the second fret of the 5th string and the fourth fret on the 4th string to play a B power chord. Hold that same position and slide your hand down a half step, or 1 fret, to play a C power chord. You can do this on any position on the 5th and 6th string.  Refer to a note chart if you're unsure of what power chord you're playing. A progression is when you play a series of notes or chords together to form a melody or song.
Summary: Hold down the first fret on the top string with your index finger. Hold down the third fret on the 5th string with your ring finger. Strum both strings to play the chord. Move your hand down 2 frets to play the G power chord. Use the same shape down the neck to play other power chords.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The placement of the hooks depends on the orientation of your rug. Determine which edge of the rug will be the top. The hooks should be made with strong fabrics, such as heavy cotton, linen, or cotton twill rug binding. Cut the fabric into rectangles. The width should be about 2/3 wider than the width of your rod.  To find the length of the hooks, wrap the fabric around the rod. Press the fabric snugly around the rod with your finger. There should be an inch or two between the top of the hook and where the fabric fits snugly against the rod. Fold the pieces of fabric vertically into thirds. This is the hook for the rod, so the rod should be able to slide in easily. At this stage, the hook will be loose around the rod. Now that the rod is in the hooks, press the fabric snug around the rod. Mark this line on the hook with a pen or marker. These locations will be where the hooks are sewn into the rug. Make sure to place them close enough together that the rug is adequately supported on the wall. Use straight pins to hold the hooks into place on the rug until you sew it into the rug. Make sure to only sew into the back of the rug, so that the stitch doesn't show on the front of the rug. The hook should be towards the top of the rug, while the sewn edge should be towards the interior of the rug. When the rug hangs, the hook should not be folded over itself. One by one, slide the rod into the newly sewn hooks. The rod should easily fit into the pockets, though they may be snug. Most rods come with mounting hardware that can be attached to the wall with a couple of screws. Determine where you want the rug to be hung in the room before you place the hooks.  Measure the length of the rod on the back of your rug. You want the rod to be mounted at each end. Mark the placement of one of the rug mounts. Use a tape measure to measure the length of the rug you found earlier. Mark that location on the wall. Before drilling the mounts into the wall, use a level to make sure the two hooks are even. If your mount attaches to the wall using screws, use a drill to attach the mounts. The rod should easily fit on the rod hooks. If you would like to secure the bottom of the rug, follow the same steps to sew hooks into the bottom of the rug and attach the rod mounts to the wall.
Summary: Determine which way the rug will be mounted. Prepare your cloth hooks. Fold the pieces of fabric in half horizontally and sew the ends together. Mark the hook locations on the back of the rug. Hand sew the hooks into the rug. Fit the rod into the hooks. Mount the rod hooks onto the wall. Hang the rug on the hooks.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pay attention to how much alcohol your loved one consumes. Were they once only able to handle a few beers before becoming intoxicated, but now they can down an entire case? Needing more and more alcohol to get the same effects may indicate alcoholism. Another key sign that your loved one has alcohol dependence is them making several unsuccessful attempts to quit. Recall if you’ve heard them vow to stop drinking on multiple different occasions despite it never happening. Many alcoholics may be in denial about their situation and think they have it under control. They may even believe they can stop drinking, if only they tried. A common sign of alcoholism is a person lying about or trying to conceal their drinking habits. Maybe your loved one shows up at the bar an hour early so that others don't see how much they consume. They might keep a stash of alcohol where others can’t find it or pretend they are doing other things when really they are drinking. Have you ever seen your loved one drink early in the morning or mid-day to combat issues like shakiness, anxiety, depression, sweating, or headache? They may even need to drink alcohol to function normally because they are so used to having it in their system. People with alcohol dependence may start to experience withdrawal symptoms--like headache or shakiness--when the effects of alcohol wear off. When they drink again, these symptoms will disappear. One potentially dangerous consequence of chronic alcohol abuse is “blacking out” or forgetting things after consuming alcohol. During a blackout, the person may act as usual, but later be unable to recall what they said or did. If your loved one regularly blacks out after a night of heavy drinking, this is not normal. This is a sign of alcohol dependence.
Summary:
Figure out if the person’s tolerance has increased. Check if the person has tried to stop, but can't. Determine if the person tries to hide their drinking from others. Observe if the person uses alcohol to deal with withdrawal. Recall episodes of blackouts or memory loss.
