Hmmm, something tells me you're going to be a tough sell. Obviously, a guitar fretboad isn't laid out like piano, all neat and tidy and in one long string with color coded imperfect notes. And although the theory is the same, it applies much differently to the fretboard. Your contempt for anything having to do with fundamentals is going to get you burned and you'll end up quitting again, because that's how you handle frustration (you said so yourself). And you will get frustrated no matter what path you choose. That's just the nature of playing guitar. Heck, you already sound frustrated and you haven't even started yet. That doesn't bode well for you here.

You may know 10 chords but if you're self taught how do you know you're using proper technique? How do you know whether your playing isn't already riddled with bad habits? Do you know how to voice those chords differently? Do know the CAGED system of chord creation? Does your repertoire of chords include barre chords? Have you memorized the fretboard? Do you know fingerstyle or alternative strumming techniques? How about palm and string muting?

If simply learning more chords is your goal, why not just spend $20 for a chord chart poster showing fingering diagrams for about 80 chords, or for even more chords, a Bound chord directory (360 chords)?

Here's my "tip" for you. Start at the beginning like everyone else: Guitar Fundamentals 1 & 2. You are of course free to skip over any material that you find to be beneath your lofty standards.
