Sad but true, I still don't know any chords after 2 years of playing, heh. I guess I've just never been interested in them. My fingers fly don't the fretboard while soloing, but if you were to ask me to play a chord, itd take me a good 2 mins before i got it right
I got better at playing by just having fun, just jamming and writing my own music. I picked up some bad habits but they were easily fixed after a couple weeks of owrking on them
Good luck
