Once you've mastered that, i'd suggest learning a chord or two. ie. E,A,D,G. Being a few common ones, reading chord boxes can be a little scary at first sight, but they are quite simple, just imagine looking at your guitar from the top (down at the strings, with the top of the guitar (HEADSTOCK) pointing to your left)).

You will work it out when you see one, Also Tableture (a guitarists Score) is a simple way of reading/playing Music. It tells you what to do, but leaves out timing signatures. Dont mean to blast you with crud at this stage, but its better to know now.

I mean thats all i can really say, as i dont know what kind of music you like or want to learn, Chords are pretty much a good starting point...Oh and expect some aches in your hands :p (they dont last long so dont worry)

Im sure other people will comment and give you advice, thats just mine

Hope it wasnt too Bland
