As usual, Chris is spot on.

The only thing I may add is perhaps to work on three chords at a time - specifically the 3 major chords in a particular key. While I was growing up, everyone around me learned G, C, and D major first (Key of G), then A, D, and E major (key of A).

Learning the major chords in a key opens up the ability to work on songs while improving your chording skills.

In my neck of the woods, we played a lot of country and bluegrass, so banging your way through those two keys ensured that you could at least sit in the back row on jam sessions.

The chords are pretty easy to learn.

Have fun!
