re: Resolved to learning to play guitar: advice wanted

First learn the basic chords of your favorite simple song. Like a 3-4 chord song progression that’s repetitive. If you can learn G, C, D, & Em, you can literally play hundreds of songs. If these chords fall under the umbrella of your favorite simple song, bonus.

Buy a tuner and use it. Early on your technique will be garbage and you will need to retune a lot.
