| Learning your basic chords and getting good clean notes simply takes practice and building up finger strength.
I use to sit in front of the TV just noodling to build up strength, but it takes constant
daily practice, if even only a 1/2 hour a day.
It's fortunate that you know bass, so you're just learning an extension of those root notes and actually you'll find yourself using bass walk up and down notes between chords eventually.
I wouldn't spend money on a teacher until you've got at least some basics down.
There are so many videos available and many free on YouTube.
Tom Petty actually had some great advice.
Get a Beatles song book for guitar and learn every song you can. At least the basic chords.
What makes this even better is that you have the recordings available
to use as reference.
Patience and practice!
