I am using 3/4'' plywood, with 6 sheets of it. Do I need to use 2X4s or 2X6s on the sides. I will then anchor it to a concrete wall.

If you are worried about it sagging in the middle you can put a decent load onto 3/4" plywood if it has a span of 3-4 feet. However if you are putting books or canned goods or heavy tools on them they will need some bracing along the front edge (back edge can be supported by the 2x4 ledger board along the wall). You could either double up a strip along the front (3" wide strip glued and screwed near front underside of shelf) or dado a 3/4" wide groove in a 2x2 and slide the front edge of shelf into it (retaining with glue and nails)
