Hi Maryliz6 and welcome to Chordie!

  Down in the Chat Corner you will find a thread covering your question, something like self taught or taking lessons.  I took some and it got me off to a good start, but you are going to get a lot of different opinions on the subject.

  Over on youtube look for justinguitar, he has very good video tutorials, and here on Chordie if you check out the public songbooks you will find several that are dedicated for the beginning level.  Most will have chord charts and from them you can learn the chord forms.  I'm sure that you will be able to find something that you like and know well enough for your first song, and from there it is pure desire and practice.

  Chordie is an open forum with lots of good folks to help you stay motivated and, more than willing to assist you in every aspect of your musical journey. 

  Welcome aboard it is a pleasure to make your aquaintence.

  Take Care;

Welcome Maryliz6 I think you've found the best tab site there is.  Suggest you get a capo and use Chordie to transpose songs that may be more difficult to chords you can play.  That's one tip.  Learn G,D, Am, and C and you can SLOW strum Knockin' on Heaven's Door.  It's a good one to play because it's not hard to sing and other people will be able to play along.  Then maybe learn to play chord A and Em.  Those are easy and open up a lot of songs for you.  Good luck and welcome to a very rewarding passion.
