Major and Minor chords are determined by the third of the chord making them sound different. Major chords have a more happy, open sound and minor chords have a "sad" sound. For example: In the key of C, A C Major triad would be the notes C, E, G and C minor triad would be C, E flat, G. (the third in the minor triad goes down a half-step from the third in the major triad) E---> E flat.

What is the difference between an amplifier and an amplified chord?

An amp is what produces the sound, however the amp cord is what carries the sound. Some instruments do not need an amp cord. Stated in another way, an amp (or amplifier) is the device that converts the electrical impulses from an instrument into amplified sound. The electrical impulses from the instrument are carried to the amplifier by an amp cord, or an audio cable. This is usually a shielded, two or three conductor cable with male plugs at either end.
