"Open Chords" are the most common shapes used on guitar. They are called "Open" because they all utilize the open strings and do not require barring.

"Bar Chords" extend the open chords up the neck with the bar acting as a movable capo. In the example below, your first finger bars all the way across the 3rd fret and use fingers 2, 3, and 4 for the rest of the notes. If you notice this is really the same shape as an E Major open chord just moved up three frets.
I recommend this app that works with iphone or ipad. You have access to hundreds of chords with an easy attractive interface. You can even "strum" the screen to hear the distinct sound of each chord. It's like having a music teacher everywhere you go!

"Triads" playing only three notes at a time rather than strumming all strings.
