Welcome to the Uplay2 domain
where you play too. To begin, its best to have an instrument tuned to
make it easy to play. For a guitar we recommend starting with Open C Tuning CGCGCE.  When played open this plays a C major chord with the musical third note of the scale on the top (thinnest) string. It really helps to label the frets on your guitar; both fret numbers and chord letters are helpful, like these shown on a low cost half size guitar for which the Uplay2 method works very well.  When one finger holds the strings down firmly onto a fret in a line the chord changes from open C to the corresponding major chord for that fret. We use the flats of our fingers to make bar chords, even for the more complex chords, so our finger tips dont hurt and we dont need short nails. A minor chord can be accompanied by simply not playing the top string. Many other voicings and chords are possible and some are shown. I use Chordify which automatically generates the chords for songs found on Youtube. Here are some great songs we can all jam with, the links bring up the song embedded in Chordify which displays the chords in time with the song. it makes mistakes; see if you can spot any:) You can search for other songs yourself. Songs with two chords Songs with three chords Cotton Eyed Joe - Country Sisters Three Little Birds - Bob Marley Key of A Songs with four chords Songs with five chords Songs with six or more chords Across The Universe - The Beatles For those with some musical experience more explanation is in the Uplay2 Method. We are interested in your feedback and assistance to add to or improve the method; please email br@uplay2.org.
