as for the help with playing, the best thing you could do is to check out the begginners section on here...listen to Schmange...he knows!
also, I reckon you should learn your major scale...and just keep playing it in different positions...not only is almost everything (or everything) based on this progression, but it'll also get your fingers moving, which is the hardest part of learning...
