Hi sosuduckman, many of Kirk's lessons cover this. Its a big subject. Browse through Kirk's lessons, and maybe The Power of Chord Tones
here
and part 2 of that lesson. Plus maybe The Music Building lesson or The C Major Chord lesson (and maybe "New to learning guitar Read this first" at the top of the Forum menu to give you more background) and many more.
Have a go at some of these, and if you have questions just ask.
