I sometimes have trouble playing bar chords in the G form, such as (5, 4, 2, 2, 2, 5, which is A Major), so I typically avoid them.

I never use bar chords at all. I dont think they sound too good with distortion, plus thats that 5ths are for. N I see them as an easy way of playing eg. Fly Away by Lenny Kravits. I know power chords are the same but I tend to put leads over 5ths. N they arent the easiest of chords. Although I'm sure some of you are gunna completely say something to contradict that.

Try this for a fifth chord (1335xx), that's one heck of a chord to play. Especially high on the neck like that. I like to play certain chords with distortion, sometimes the dissonance is what I want. And if you have a lighter overdrive they don't sound play at all. Sometimes I am anal about how the chord is voiced too, like a G7 (320001). So I'll revoice it to have more of a singing tune in the chord progression. Well I usually end up finding some weird one that sounds cool and usually those are pretty hard to play.

I've always been weird about my rhythm playing. If I'm going chords, no distortion, not overdrive, period. It grates my ears. When I've got powerchords (5, 7, 7, x, x, x) or powerchords with the 9th (like A5add9 or Asus2 witha widespread voicing, 5, 7, 9, x, x, x), distortion is ok for me. It's just personal preference. I don't mind bands that overdrive their chords, it's just not my style.

Drop the open notes, and you can move it anywhere with the second string as the root. Basically, it's a D5 just moved up out of open position.
