You can play songs with literally 2 or 3 chords only. Most chords are all the same anyway. If it's the shapes themselves that are hard to remember, come up with some memory device to keep them on your brain
I think D looks like a D, A looks like an A (although all on 1 fret), E looks like an e, open G kinda wraps around like a G, and C... well look I said you only needed 4 chords. Then learn the minor variation for D A and E
Eventually your brain gets good at compartmentalizing new chord shapes
If you want some quick dopamine, try learning the power chords
A5 E5 D5 (two ways)
E--5--7--5----
A--7--7--5--5
D--7------7--7
G--------------7
And just strum away. Move the chords wherever you want and see what sounds dope
I think honestly more important than memorising chord shapes is using whatever ones you know and being able to switch between them smoothly. If you can keep up the rhythm of your strumming it sounds infinitely better to be a little slow on changing the chords, than it does to stop strumming and pause to get the chord right. Have a good long think about a chord before you switch to it, know what you're gonna do before you do it, know which fingers are gonna move while some things stay the same (Am and C require you to move exactly 1 finger only, for example). Don't throw your fingers in the deep end and expect them to swim at first
You got this op
