A friend of mine gave me his old guitar last month and I've been teaching myself. I'm very impatient and don't want to read books or know about what every single thing means before I can play! I don't even know what people are talking about with bars and tabs and whatever- lol! I have been watching youtube videos and I do understand that you have to know basic chords in order to play any songs and THAT'S what takes so much practice- to be able to switch between chords is something that ONLY will come after practice, but if you learn the basics, then that's all you need to move on. So this is the video I watched to learn the basic chords: I also took really simple notes so I didn't have to keep rewinding or rewatching the video. It also helps for me to write things down to remember, but that might not be your style. Anyway, good luck and know your fingers will hurt! Mine do :) Hey I’m in the exact same situation!

You can find guitar tabs online. Personal info- My first song that my brother first showed me was the Enter Sandman intro and main riff By Metallica. well dude at first i didn’t have the patience to play guitar you know i just wanted to become good and quick but you need practice.

Do you know how to read tabs at all? What I did was learn to read tabs. Then picked easy songs with a couple Chords. Try Nirvana songs. And then went to tablature sites to practice on.
