LEEroy, with 3 guitars playing single note melody lines will get dull fast. You will eventually get around to wanting to play chords. There are plenty of resources here and elsewhere on the web to get you started.
Practice simple chords first. E, E minor, A, A minor, G, C and D. Go slow moving between each chord. Your fingers have to learn new tricks of independant motion. Where they belong and how to get there. With those chords you'll find plenty of songs to sing along with.
If you have the desire. You'll get there.

Welcome, check if the way you're positioning your fingers is right. If u practise keeping them well away from the other strings u should have no probs

Sorry.. should have mentioned this also.
It would be helpful if someone that knows how to play can give you a hand with your hand positioning and technique. If this is not right you'll not chord correctly, and if you practice something that you are doing incorrectly you'll get very good at doing it incorrectly.
