A couple of different ways for you to go...

The best thing is to invest in a couple of song books... the ones that have regular music notation but have the chords across the top of the staff. Start strumming your way through the tunes. It will give you lots of good practice with the chords you know, and when you run into a chord that you don't know, it will give you something new to learn. This will also teach you a lot about how to use these chords in actual music.... an invaluable lesson.

Another option is to buy a chord book... practically any one will do. This is something that you will eventually want for reference anyway.

Third option is to check out an online chord finder. Click here (http://www.wholenote.com/default.asp?iTarget=/basics/chords.asp?r=17%26q=1%26v=1%26n=0%26d=0%26x=7%26y= 10) for the one at WholeNote. Plug in the chord you are looking for and viola... all sorts of fingerings to learn. I would recommend that your next chord be this common barre chord shape:

----5----------
----5----------
----6----------
----7----------
----7----------
----5----------

Your index finger barres across all the strings on the 5th fret, your middle covers the note at the 6th fret of the G string, your ring covers the note at the 7th fret on the A string and your pinky takes the note at the 7th fret on the D string.

Once you get this down, you can move it up or down the fingerboard to get different root notes and change some fingers around to get different types of chords... very valuable.

Try www.chordhouse.com (http://www.chordhouse.com) click on the advanced page. Select a chord name and type. You will get a chart of the neck with all the postions of all the tones in the chord. Then work out your own from the chord formula. Like 1 b3 5 for a minor chord. Try to learn movable chord positions if you already know Am move it up two frets to the Bm position. You will have to add the barre with the index finger. Now you know all 12 minor chords, just keep moving the shape up or down Your root note is on the fifth string.
