Lean & understand a three chord 1-4-5 chord progression, it’s easy. Most songs are written this way. Lean it in the key of A. Three easy chords, A,D & E. You can play hundreds of songs with these chords. Lots of info on KZread. It’s a good start. Then learn the G chord. Now you can play in the key of D too, D - G - A, ( you’ll already know the D & A chords). Hope this helps. You can do it!
