If you are a complete beginner:
Learn these chords first
And power chords
Congratulations! you are better than 50% of guitarists
Then barre chords
Learn A minor pentatonic scale and move it up and down the fretboard...
Congratulations! you are better than 75% of guitarists
From there learn some more pentatonic scale shapes and learn how to move between them with slides and bends... Play around the shapes of the major and minor bar chords and the open chords you know to create your own solos and chords.
The circle of fifths dictates that every major scale has the same notes as the minor scale 4 notes down (so G maj has the same notes as E min) and everything repeats at the 12th fret... congratulations, you just quadrupled your potential fretboard positions...
At any point you get bored, learn some songs you like... tab is so easy to learn from, it's like painting with numbers... learn some solos, some picking techniques or try some open tunings.
