Hey Kerry, keep the faith, start small and work your way up. if you have petite hands try D chords Amin Chords and Emin

If you have big hands like me try G D and C but miss out C if you are small handed because the 3rd finger will choke the other strings at this stage, if you check the beginner section on here you will see that some chords are broken down for example a C can be as simple as the 1st finger only then introduce the 2nd finger etc same applys with all other chords.
