Just started trying to learn music (specifically, learning the acoustic guitar so I can have an instrument to play around with to learn music theory) and, since I'm unable to pay for lessons at the moment, I wanted to know any methods that can be used to identify if I'm playing the chord correctly, as in, it sounds right (putting enough force, for example). I will eventually pay for a teacher, but I want to get the foundations down so I can get more out of my lessons too.
Most places I've searched just said ''your ears'', but I'm confused, since I have absolutely no experience with music (I don't even know the relative pitches of the basic notes), so I can not use that.
So, what methods are there? And if ears are the only reliable method, how can I learn the sounds of notes and train my ear to recognize my mistakes?
