ok so im learning right now and my guitar teacher wrote some chords along with what i am supposed to do with those chords. im not sure if he wanted me to learn those chords but thats not what this thread is about.

what my question is:

sholud i learn every single chord, or should i put my efforts into learning what make a chord major/minor/ aug/ dim/ sus/7/9/11/13 etc and learnig what notes are contained in the triads?

i dont have a problem doing the wwwork of learning the chords but i dont want to just be another walking chord dictonary.
