My advice is to learn simple melodies and riffs (on a single string) before chords in order to strengthen your fingers e.g. Seven Nation Army, Smoke On The Water. It's also more fun in the beginning and helps you feel like your progressing. After a couple of weeks of that, then try a song like Good Riddance or Wonderwall with chords that keep at least two of your fingers in stationary positions.
