my advantage was that i learned the violin first which is basically the same chords only with a different sound. you can even play a violin like a guitar if you wanted

For classical guitar, you will stay in "first position" for a quite a while. That's down at the first frets. Buy a book of "graded" (harder and harder) first-year guitar music and you'll soon learn those notes, and you'll soon find yourself moving up the fretboard, piece by piece.
If you mean guitar for popular music, for learning chords, there are scads and scads of guitar chord charts available over the Internet. I've sited two below. Pair these charts with your favourite popular music -- and you're in business.
Finally, try starting with pieces that are in keys that are simple for a guitar, such as the key of C major (no sharps or flats) or G major (one sharp).

There are plenty of cheap books in music shops that show easy and complex chord shapes. Then get a book with songs in and practise. You can't beat it. the more you practise the quicker you will learn.

You can buy fret cards from any good music store, they help you learn the finger placements. If you have no musical background then try downloading Tabs from the web, they show you where to place your fingers for each note instead of having to read music. Just search for the song + tab in google.
