I've been playing almost a year now so I'm experiance with just about everything.
Some tips for begining learning chords, well firsly, just learn major and minor chords for now.
Fret your chord
eg. G chord
e-3--
b-0--fret a 3 here is you like.
g-0--
d-0--
a-2--
e-3--
Strum it, if it doesn't sound right - or to check if you are playing it right, play each string individually. Make sure all the notes are played cleanly, make sure your fingers aren't hitting any adjacent strings. If your accidently muting a string or muffling a note or anything, do your best to work out how to fix that(shouldn't be hard).
When your playing the chord normally pay attention to your strumming hand. Listen to hear the notes blending in with eachother.
Do you know the song knocking on heavens door? Thats a fun and easy chord progression. It uses the chords G, D and C. Played in that order too. Sometimes A Minor(AM) is used where C is, so G, D Am.
G D C
-3--2--0--
-3--3--1--
-0--2--0--
-0--0--2--
-2-----3--
-3-----0--
