There are definitely many ways to learn the guitar. Some are slow (like learning on your own) while some are fast but the bottom line is you will learn how to play the guitar if you put in effort and time.
As for the fastest and best way to learn the guitar i would suggest you try online guitar lessons. They are affordable (less than $20/month) and you get access to thousands of video lessons, professional tutors as well as a forum where you can ask questions and get answers.
As for the best guitar lessons online i would recommend either Jamplay or Guitartricks. These two are by far the best video lessons on the internet.
Check out www.guitartricksvsjamplay.com and you will get to know the difference and similarities between these two online lessons site and which the best one for you is.

Expose yourself to them from a book or other source. It's very important to memorize them, in name and form. The true test is if you can close your eyes and "see" them in your mind. The nest step is to be able to move smoothly from one chord to another (most songs have at least three, and usually more). Look for any similarities in shape; sometimes you can just pick up a shape or part of one and move it over a string or two, like Am to E. Once you decide on two chords you want to switch between (any that you're working on) close your eyes and visualize yourself making the change; but visualize yourself doing it successfully, as if you'd done it for a long time. (One thing that most beginners aren't aware of is how much of an obstacle the human mind can really be to their success). Then, when you try to do it physically, the mind acts from experience, and the fingers cooperate. As a professional guitar instructor, I can guarantee that this method will get you there the fastest. When changing from one chord to another, strum each four times then move to the next but do it repeatedly. Your mind should be visualizing the chord you'll play next, not the one you're on; you don't have to think of that after all! Strum slowly at first, as the goal is for it to take no more time to get from the last strum of the first chord to the first strum of the next than the space between strums during the duration of each individual chord. Then find a simple song you like, and try it!
P.S.: use the tips of your fingers, and remember it requires less strength than you think. Usually when a string sounds muted it's because a finger that's supposed to be on another string is touching it, not allowing it to vibrate on it's own.

Go buy a simple chord book.. Learn the basic major, minor and dominant chords. Start with one key and then another. If you like a particular song, learn the song.. That will expand your chord vocabulary. I've played 40 yrs. Theory expanded my chord building knowlege years ago.. I don't think so much of shapes as I do the voicings in each chord.. Good luck ps.. Lot's of inexpensive books available.. Check out Mel Bay Books.

Start with the seven chrods near the nut of the guitar. Then learn barre chords, power chords and learn minor chords and focus on that for a year.

get a cheap nylon string one, $40 or so
then ask somebody to show you G C and D
or E A and D
try to play any song you think up with just those chords
it works for most songs
its gonna take 100 hours or so to really get the hang of it
