In need of advice.

Well where would you start what should I learn ? What's a song that's in my reach of capability soon ? Anything like that would help

Guitar Lesson 2E

The chord changes are really fast on that song. Learn to play from G to C by just moving the 2 fingers on the E and A strings while playing G down to the A and D strings while leaving the pinky and ring finger parked on the B and high E strings. You can also play the D7 by moving just the index finger to the G string and leaving the pinky and index parked. Em can be played by moving the index and middle fingers to the A and D strings the normal em formation while keeping the pinky and ring fingers parked. You can change chords really fast by doing it this way.

Here is the G chord.

You could start with some classics and have the strumming rhythm parts of the songs down fairly soon (2 weeks with 1 hr a day practice).

-Knockin On Heaven's Door
-Freebird
-Simple Man
-Comfortably Numb
-Behind Blue Eyes
etc.

Getting your two hands coordinated, strumming chords clean without fretting out any notes, switching between chords, strumming rhythm....the basics should all be really emphasized first for awhile (it will be painful and boring but it's worth it)

Why did I learn the g cord without the 2 string I keep seeing different ones does it really matter ?

Different ways of forming the G give you slightly different sounds. Having the pinky on the high E and ring on B is called a G sus (I believe) and gives a more full treble sound and a slightly more melancholy sound similar to a minor chord...
