You are on the right track....All those chords will come to serve you if you can keep up a routine of consistant practice over time. You will learn them all along the way. Don't let the scope and depth of music put you off. If you practice, over time, these daunting chords and theory, and even the challanging fretboard gymnastics... All of Them... will become your friends.

At this point I would suggest that you just trust in Lisa's lessons and practice. That really will get you off to a good start. The rest will follow. Even those fingers that don't yet know how to make clear chords. Keep practicing and THE REST WILL FOLLOW.

The people who are musicians owe that status to the fact they enjoyed endless practice. They enjoy it because they know practice pays. It will get easier and a lot more fun, as long as you enjoy picking up your ax frequently and making noise. The more you do... the better it gets.
