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.
Help.

My advice is to look up tablature of songs you want to learn and start playing them. You’ll understand relatively quickly that:
* The chords at the top of the neck are often used and easy to memorize
* Sometimes you have to strum the whole chord, but other times you don’t, depending on what the song demands
* The same chord can be expressed in many different ways all over the guitar neck, and sometimes a song uses a different version of the chord instead of the one at the top of the neck
* From there, if you want, you can dig into music theory and begin to learn what chords are associated with different keys, why it’s like that, and how scales relate to all of this too.
