first thing you need to work on is just getting the muscle memory down. get a choordbook and start practicing going from one to the next and back again.
Tips? Sure anyone who gets a guitar and quickly starts or learns the first few bars to stairway to heaven should have their fingers snapped back to their wrists.

Nice job, man. I'm a avid guitarist and have been playing for too many years to remember.
A good first step is to learn your basic open chords:
G, A, E, D, C
Other great basic chords to know:
Em, Am
Most people pick up a guitar and learn only power chords. You'll never get good this way. Learn your open chords first and worry about power chords later. You can do way more with open chords.
Not sure what types of music you listen to, but bands like Nirvana and Green Day are great to start off with since their music is generally pretty simple.

play every day even if you only have 5 mins..... I found that if I have my guitar on a stand I play it A LOT more, because I can just pick it up for a few and put it down.....
Take care...

Nice that you have a new hobby. Hope you will feel all the rewards playing can give you. Remmeber, only practice will make you better. I've been playing for 12 years. There are many good books for learning guitar. Take time to learn the basics. There is a good book from Troy Stetina called "Speed Mechanics" It is basicly more advance book. But, don't be fulled by the title. It is NOT about shreding and stupidly fast parts with no sense. This book is about how you learn new things, how to make your own exercises to overcame hard parts. That is far more immportant than just to learn tom play very fast.
Don'y just learn to read tabs, learn to read notes. And offcorse, try to play some tunes by ear. It IS immportant.
Get the metronom from the very begining and always, always play in with sens for the rhythm!
Good luck with playing.
