Default Re: I bought an electric guitar. Make me better.

Find some songs that help you learn timing/rhythm and that are not very complicated. I recommend starting with songs like Knocking on Heaven's Door, Plush, etc.

The easiest and maybe best way to start will be to pick songs from your music collection that are simple and repeat the same chords. Learn how to read tablature (widely available on the internet for any of your favorite songs if they are popular) and practice playing along with the music to get the timing down. Also, learn how to tune the guitar yourself.
