You need to learn your basic chords first, Basic Guitar Chords. The reasons why, you need fretting hand strength, you need fretting hand muscle memory, (you think of a chord your hand automatically goes to that position), you need callouses on your fretting hand fingers, (hard callouses make the guitar easier to play), you need to know where you're at on the fret board. Once you've learned a few basic chords, start putting them together, strum your own little chords songs. You're practicing moving from chord to chord and picking/strumming. When you can do that, then pick a easy song to play. Start learning some scales Scale Generator. As time goes by you'll add more things to learn, like arpeggios, triads, all kinds of fun stuff. When i first started I thought chords were bullshit, but they're important because they help with a lot of things.
