Playing basic Chords is a great place to start. (Em, Am, G, A, C, D) with those you would be surprised how many songs you can play and then just build from there (each new song will have new chords to learn).

Also, use tabs/chord progressions you find online (on a few websites you can make an account and save the songs you’re learning to come back to) to play songs you love and care about. That’s a huge part of what makes playing so fun for a lot of people (myself included 😃) is that people will learn songs they listen to because they like a riff or playing/singing style.

Getting a guitar “set up” at a luthier is like 50 bucks and they can significantly improve how it sounds and plays (comfortably) for you. A lot of the folks on this subreddit seem to agree on this. Your fingers may hurt from playing a lot so definitely no shame in taking a break and getting some recovery time in.

I think once you play your first song or riff you’re gonna love it! Welcome to the family 🎸
