I'll second Mickey Baker's book I for jazz guitar.
Another approach is to get a book with a lot of chords in it then:
1. On the 3rd fret of the Low E string (G), learn all the chords you can make from there in G.
2. Move over to the A string on the 3rd fret (C) and learn all the chords you
can make from there in C.
Now you accompany in all keys by sliding up and down the neck as needed.
3. Learn the chords on the highest pitched 4 strings to aid in soloing etc.
I'm self taught with the aid of a lot of books and videos (along with school
band as a kid). This approach will get you there.
As you find the chords in the book, listen to them...find the one's you like.
