Welcome to GT! You'll get plenty of advice and knowledge here that's for sure. Hopefully you'll have a life long love affair with your guitar. I know I can't get enough of mine! :)

Welcome :) I think you'll be able to find all the lessons and stuff you need here. But yeah, enjoy!
By the way, what kind of guitar is it?

Hey Sheresa.... :)
A and E eh? It's all difficult when you start out. The only piece of advice I'll bother you with now is to practice a little every single day, and you'll get there....
Just wait until you try a F or a B.... ;)

The main chords you will be playing are A, C, D, E, and G. The F and B chords can be a bit daunting at first. If you are already working on A and E, I would suggest the next chord you could learn is D. This is because many songs that have A and E in them also have D.
The shape for D, when you think you are ready for the next step, is:
E||-----|--2--|-----|
B||-----|-----|--3--|
G||-----|--1--|-----|
D||-----|-----|-----|
A||--x--|-----|-----|
E||--x--|-----|-----|
The numbers are for where your fingers go. So your ring finger is number 3 for example. The x's are the strings that you don't play. So really you are only playing the top 4 strings for the D Major chord.
