Like the other guys said. Since you got an acoustic, I'd reccomend working on your chords. also, like before mentioned, use your pinkie. A lot of new players that have real promise run into a roadblock down the road, because thay hate using their pinkie so much. But mainly, I'd reccomend that you get comfortable with a pick, or with your thumb, fingernail, ect. if you don't have a pick/don't want to use one. Anyway, get it under control, work on your touch, hitting the right strings, fingering the right strings on the right frets, and don't worry about speed this early, that's how you get in a hole.
