i looked at the site you had there. normally the chord charts do give suggested fingering. there is no "right" way. you have to go by what is most comfortable for you. since you are a girl, you probably have smaller fingers than other people that play. you may have to make adjustments because of this. most of the chord charts on the page you have are shown from the perspective of the top of the chart being open strings. if you see a number to the top left of the chart, that is the top fret included. for example, if there is a "3" then the frets included would be the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th. unless noted it would be open, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. if you are in need of a good guitar resource, check out www.wholenote.com. it has lessons, chord info, tablature and just so many helpful things. i hope i was a little help. if there is anything else you are unsure about feel free to ask and i'll give you all of the help i can.

The farthest chord to the left would be your pointer finger, and then your middle finger, and then your ring finger. But based on where the note is, it's really all about the comfort of your fingers, and what would work the best so they don't start hurting a lot.

As for the diagram, each row of little squares is known as a fret. so starting from the top of the guitar, it's the first fret, then the second, then the third, and so on. So for example, the G chord, the first dot is in the third fret, the second one is in the second fret, and the last dot is in the third fret again. For this chord, you would put your middle finger where the first dot it, your pointer where the second dot is, and your ring finger where the third dot is. Like I said about where you're putting your fingers, you should try first to put your fingers wherever based on the distance, and then try to find the best place that is most comfortable. In the G chord diagram, you wouldn't put your pointer finger first, even though that dot is the farthest away, because you'd have your middle finger and pointer finger crossing each other.

If you want a website that numbers the dots for your fingers, try justinguitar.com I think. I looked up a picture of a g chord on google and it came with this:

Hope I helped, and good luck!
