Guitar help please

[Teeny]

okies, right, me fella bought me a nice guitar for birthday like 2 years ago, case, DVD, picker, tuner, books, the lot which I wanted, anyway, after a few weeks got it out of cupboard and it's like too big for me to see the strings...lol
so i goes to argos and bought a smaller cheapo to learn on, but i'm trouble learning the which cord is which and where each chord is....

the picture shows lines in a vertical position rather than horizontal...duhhhhh it's a bloody guitar not a cello..lol

and everything in done in notes, so do i have to learn to read music before i can learn to play any tune otherwise how do i know which string is which...serious in need of help please. xx
