You need to do exercises, just strum random chords to improve how fast you can play, play with a metronome etc.etc. You can't just pick up the guitar and expect it to work like magic. It takes time. I've been playing for 6 months (self-taught) and I still don't live up to my own expectations.

Do easier songs. Look up "easy guitar songs" on the search engine for this website. You'll find SO many you can barely stand it. You'll just have to be patient. I hate to say it, but it's true. Do some easy songs, like "Things I'll Never Say" by Avril Lavigne. It's an easy song to play despite the barred chord.

Good luck and take it easy. ^_^
