  Well that is the one way to learn. Ask.  One thing I will stress is that you learn and understand chords, and theory.Right now my goal is to master the theory, and learn to solo.What is your preferance as far as what style of playing are you intrested in learning? How do you want to sound? Go to a guitar center and listen to various brands, and builds to find the sound that suits you. When you find the guitar you with the sound your looking for, get someone to educate you on what features it has to give it that sound. Listen to different amplifiers to find the one that really brings out the sound of your guitar.All of these small things may not seem important to you at first but trust me it is well worth the trouble.
To each... his own... Be creative.....

That's advice I could have used a year ago. I'm finding myself looking for a new amp now because I went the cheap route with no research into what exactly I was looking for and what I wanted to do with it. An expensive lesson.

I got a guitar a couple years ago but i never had the time to learn with sr year and graduation and all.  Now I got new strings and a chord book because that's what someone recommended I do.  It's an acoustic.  Is this the right method or should I be in a beginner's book or something?

Well, that is a good start. 

knowing how to strum and change smoothly from chord to chord is essential to a guitarist. 

I don't know if you want to play for a church, but once you get all of the chords down, you can move onto scales.  Also you can check out some of Uriah's vids for some tips for begginers.

The first thing I would recomend,if you don't want to find a good teacher,is get a good song and chord book. Try to learn four simple chords,G,C,D,and E minor. If you are familier with old gospel hymns,learn to play them.If not,try to get some songs that you know that are in the key of "G". Also,try a acoustic first,the mistakes will come out better,and you'll be able to correct them.
