It sounds to me like you're talking about bar chords. I wouldn't start out there. Learn the complete set of open chords for all the naturals. It'll make a big difference for you to understand the relationships of the open chords when you start putting them on top of bars, and you'll have built up the hand strength by then to do bar chords.
My rule, when I teach people to play guitar, is: once you can play an open F, THEN you can start doing bar chords.
