1) You can buy a book.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0825612713/qid=1065631722/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_5/102-0068613-5338558?v=glance&s=books

2) Try searching the web.

Wholenote.com has some good tools.

Watch out for the books that state 10,000 guitar voicings, for you will find 9,500 are impractical.

a lot of chords keep the same shape, but u just move up or down the neck, so once you know one, you actually know about twelve.

If you don't know where to start, I would suggest that you simply begin with A, B, C, D, E, F and G. Most songs are acctually based upon those chords..

http://www.chordfind.com

is perhaps the easiest way of understanding where on the neck you can play the chords and also makes you understand that there really are A LOT of chords.

Good Luck!
