I don’t really understand how to play guitar or even how to approach learning.
Do you just memorize chords? When do you play individual strings instead of a full strum? Are certain notes and chords assigned to different keys?
It seems way above my head lol.

Mostly you memorize four or five finger positions, then adapt them out. E major is the same position as A minor, but one string down, for instance.
Really though, my breakthrough on guitar was sitting there plinking the strings one fret at a time. You memorize how the first and last string (Both E) sound, then you plink one of the strings next to it to see how they sound together. That gives you the first, second, fifth and sixth strings. Repeat for the other two, just kinda feeling out which things sound good together. You’ll quickly realize that there’s a few chains that just seem to work well together, and then you look at the charts to see what they are, and usually it’s a chord or a key. Bam, memorization finished, but from the ground up instead of trying to learn it from a book.
