I would suggest learning CAGED. The chords C, A, G, E, & D. Also, learn the strings (From top to bottom) E,A,D,G,B & E. As well as the note on the neck. For example: If you start with the top string (Which is actually string SIX because you count from the bottom up) and play it open (With no fingers on it) That is an "E". Finger on the first fret is "F", second fret is F#, third fret "G" and so on. The procession is as follows for the low "E" string (Sixth string) E,F,F#,G,G#,A,A#,B,C,C#,D,D#,E. Notice that there is no sharps between E&F or B&C. This works for all strings. So, the "A" string (5th String) would be A,A#,B,C,C#,D,D#,E,F,F#,G,G#,A. And so on. Hope this helps.
