I guess you can start learning guitar with Jazz. It's not that absurd, but considering how basic your questions are, I can tell you, you're gonna have a million more questions each step of the way. Are you able to get a teacher in your area?
Forum can be very useful in supplementing your training but in person lessons I think is necessary if you're serious.

Now for your basic assignment, work out 7, minor 7, m7b5 (trick question) from these fingerings.
The trick is to get good at working out chord shapes etc, not just learning them by rote.
Then learn Autumn Leaves and play using shell voicings.

I know people who are learning guitar from Justin's videos. He seems like a really cool guy to learn guitar basics from. Going through all his basic courses is a very good idea. But for jazz ditch Justin. It seems like he himself is learning jazz basics as he is making the videos and his main audience is not jazz learners.
For better online jazz lessons check out tutorials from this site as well as video lessons from Jens Larsen and our own Christian.Last edited by Tal_175; 03-05-2019 at 09:10 AM.

0 = open string, x means don't play that string, so a basic C major chord could be x 3 2 0 1 0.
