Sounds like they're starting off pretty much the same place as all of us did, then.
I'm far from being a good enough guitar player to be an instructor, but here's my .02 worth anyways - if you mean they "can't hold an open chord" as in they don't have the finger strength to do it, maybe it would be good to start off by teaching them some simple one-string melodies, and working on learning the notes of the fretboard (something that will definitely come in handy later on!). If you mean they just don't know any open chords yet, it would be a good time to start learning them......with a few simple open chords (like A, D, E) they could play a lot of songs.
