^^ Yeah that's a basic blues progression, I think. Used a lot in popular music.
Nice guitar! Well, since I'm bored and everyone else is giving advice, here's my take. The first thing I'd suggest learning are all the open chords (
A C D E G Am Dm Em). You can actually play quite a few easy songs with those chords (eg. Free Falling, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Mr. Tamborine Man) and I'm sure more if you look up songs with only open chords on the internet. It's a lot more fun to practice if you're actually playing a song, obviously.
You might then want to learn how to play E and A as major, minor, and dominant 7. That'll help out when you learn barre chords.
Barre chords look like this:
See how he's using his index finger to press down all the strings? That's a barre chord. You can then play just about any chord up the fingerboard.
If you learn this stuff first, it'll make it a hell of a lot easier to read tabs, 'cause you'll recognize the chords, and your fingers will just "know where to go" when you're playing.
I'd either pick up a beginner guitar book with the chords and their fingerings. Then go at it. It'll take a while before you'll get a decent sound out of the guitar and your fingers will probably get sore, but they'll get a lot stronger as you play. I remember having a lot of trouble with barre chords in particular, cause my fingers weren't strong enough to get a good sound. That's totally normal.
Well, that's how I learned. Anyway, have fun man!
