<...>Look up the two major bar chords and start practicing them now. The first bar chord is based on the open E major shape with the root on the 6th string. The open A major shape forms the other bar chord with the root on the fifth string. As soon as you see these on a chord chart they will make sense.<...>

 

I learned guitar from guitarists in bands when I was the sax player wanting to double. All they showed me was bar chords.

 

Many people will tell you to learn the open string chords first. Don't believe them. The bar chords are easier. If you can play the F chord, move it up a fret and you have an F#, move it up another, you have a G, and so on.

 

And as almost everybody before me has said, "Have Fun" - that is why they call it PLAYing music.
