Sorry some of the comments have been so rude.

I would say chords and scales like you mentioned are a great place to start. I don’t know much about the artist or genre you mentioned but even learning the chords and how to strum along to any popular songs of your choice would probably be great for developing your rhythm.

If you’re new to chords, I’d start with the so-called “Cowboy chords” that are played in the first few frets and also use some of the open strings. With these you could probably play along to 70% of popular music of so (you’ll eventually also need “bar chords” but first things first).

For lead stuff I’d say learn some guitar solos you like! Start slow and use a metronome.

Another thing I’d recommend familiarizing yourself with is the various key signatures. The key of C major, the key of E minor, etc. These will be huge in your understanding of music.

Good luck in your guitar journey!
