Cowboy chords...Wonderful ain't they. Wouldn't sound right on say the 5th fret would it? They work for rock, country, bluegrass, blues..and the added advantage of open strings for all those nice fills and scale runs. Standard tuning 440Hz. Go up the fret board for the solos and they fit perfectly over those open "cowboy chords". Of course if you have a tuner with the capability you can alter the 440Hz up or down in pitch..I have a few guitars in slightly different pitches. Some of them sound better than in 440 Hz. Then everything just moves up the fret board fret by fret. The essence of your instrument. And AC/DC use those cowboy chords a lot. Never be in a rush to move away from your cowboy chords. Use a capo you change key, the same chords are now different chords but you still have the open strings to play with. Albert Collins for one used a Capo all the time. Replace the Capo with your 1st finger and a few open chord shapes and you have Barre chords. Major and minor just as the open chords. A little alteration you have other chord variations like say a Dom 7th..6th..etc. Songs mostly played in the open position should be the first ones you learn..along with as many ways to alter and enhance those chords as you can..like a D sus 2 or 3...very popular..you see that one used by AC/DC and many others. AC/DC songs are a good place to start if you like your rock and that bit easier to learn. Nothing complicated really. Which is why I use open chords and a Capo a lot of the time. I can do far more than with Barre chords so I only use those when I need to..often not the whole chord either. Then again everyone does pretty much the same things one way or another. And of course an AC/DC song always sounds damn good..
