Shouldn't take you 10 minutes.
After this learn all 12 major and minor chords. It's so easy to play with this method.
Most rockers "Fake it" using this simple method.

How difficult is it to tech yourself piano compared to guitar?
Q. Hi, I'm 13 and just convinced my dad to get me a keyboard. I taught myself to play guitar from the Internet and YouTube videos. Everyone I've played guitar for says I'm good at it and I have alot of talent. So my question is compared to guitar how har is it to learn piano. Yes I know peoples opinion of difficulty is different.
A. try the ebook and video lessons at http://guitarmanual.typepad.com it has lots of good lessons and a downloadable ebook 93 pages 8 chapters covering beginning to advanced lessons like open chords, barre chords, power chords, chord inversions, major minor and pentatonic scales and their modes, how to read tablature and chord charts, playing techniques, music theory lessons specific to guitar and much more, good luck !!
How do I learn what guitar chords to play in order to jam in a certain key.?
Q. I know scale positions on a guitar but how do I learn which chords can be played in a certain key? I want to be able to jam with chords, not just play solos.
A. Doing this well requires a good knowledge of music theory, but here is a basic stuff to get you started:
You first need to find the relative major scale of key you are using. For example, G is the relative major to E min because they have the same notes, just a different order. C is the relative major to A min, ect.
If you are in a major key, the distance between the notes should be as follows
I-whole-ii-whole-iii-half-IV-whole-V7-whole-vi-whole-viidim-half-I
The "wholes" represent two half steps (two frets) and the "halfs" represent one half step, or one fret. For example, F# is one half step above F. G is one whole step above F.
When counting up, remember what a piano looks like - there is no black key between B/C and between E/F. This means that F is one half step up from E.
Now that you have your scale, you find the chords. If you look at the spacing chart above, you'll notice some roman numerals are capitalized - this means they are major chords. The lower case are minor chords. The V7 means a 7th chord (you can do major or minor depending on the style of music [ie jazz uses min7]) You can also just play a major chord if you don't want to get fancy. The viidim is a tricky chord. It is REALLY hard to figure in melodically. Many people just use vii instead.
To sum it all up, let me give an example. Let's say we have the Emin scale. I'd want to find the relative major scale - G. The notes in G are G-A-B-C-D-E-F#-G. The chords, therefore, are G Amin Bmin C D (or D7) Emin F#min (or F#dim) G.
There is quite a bit more to this on when to use 6th chords, and augmented chords, and more....but you need to know the basics first. Every song can be jammed to or played with basic chords. Making them more complex will add style once you get the basic chord progression down.
