Hi!!!
You sound just like me! (yes, you do hehe)
well, not now but a few months before I had your same concern. Why? Well here is the thing:
I used to take guitar lessons in 5th grade (and i'm going to 10th grade now) but I forgot everything, (well i remembered a few things but not much) so I had to start from scratch (which is you). anyways I went on the magical world of the internet hehe and I got myself a guitar chords directory and saved it and I went on youtube learned some tips and stuff (you can learn a few stuff in youtube) and started playing.
So I LEARNED THE BASICS! yay! and you can too! now all I have to do is keep on learning some more difficult stuff. Ok piece of advice: DON'T GIVE UP! You are probably thinking:"No, i wont" yeah yeah you get tired and maybe even bored given that sometimes it takes time to learn a few stuff, and when you don't get it fast you get frustrated. So having said that here is what i recommend:
1. USE THE INTERNET (it's not only for myspace) go to sites like e-chords, guitarworld, youtube, guitarchordsmagic, and chordbook (chordbook is very good cause it actually plays the chords for you so save it in your favorites so everytime you learn a chord you go there to see how it's supposed to sound, etc... (you will stumble across more sites when you go to these)
2. watch people playing guitar. If you don't know anyone or don't have the time go to youtube (the answer to your prayers hehe) and watch people who play guitar to learn techniques and see how they do it (trust me it works). i recommend people like: brinicole22, savannah 7448, miaarose etc...
3. Learn like 3 chords and pratice them. OK THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ONE: don't try to learn like a thousand chords a day cause you think you will learn faster. THE TRUTH IS YOU WONT. Take it easy you will learn faster if you take it like 1, 2, or even 3 chords a day. And pratice changing them like if you are in G, change to D and pratice so you can get faster. Oh and this will make it more difficult to forget the chords.
4. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!!!!!
haha yeah i know you've heard this but you really need to practice a lot so you can master this (I won't give you a speech on this)\
5. DON'T GIVE UP
I already told you this but I'm telling you again cause it's really important so please don't give up.
Ok im almost finished but first:
WORD OF INSPIRATION: If you dedicate time to this and you really want it and you practice a lot and don't give up, you can learn the basics in like a month or less. To tell you the absolute truth I learned like in a week and a half to learn the basics (specially a week). yep I did so you can learn fast just be sure to learn it well so you won't forget it. AND REMEMBER everyone learns at a different pace so don't get frustrated if you don't learn that fast. Oh and one last thing, set goals for you like say for tommorow I want to learn this and work hard towards that and reward yourself if you do it (that's what I did :-)
SO you can ask me if you have any other question!
I'D love to help you ! there weren't many people on the internet available to help so i know what it's like.
so to you it's different i will help hehehe.
so i hope the best for you!
toodles
Alexandra~

Oh and by the wayy its so ironic you mentioned savannah and brinicole22 I love them I've been a fan of them since they first joined youtube especially becuase of there guitar playing. Brinicole22 has great songs you should hear them and savannah soon is getting out a cd. Okay lol you must be wondering why I'm typing so much haha. Well thanks so much for the advice it helped A lot!
