I just bought my first guitar about 5 weeks ago and have been using the internet to learn how to play guitar. I have also finished the absolute beginner program on this site. The problem with the internet is there is way too much information and I have no idea where to really start.
My question as a beginner is should I focus my attention right now on skill or theory?
I feel I could do 2 things at this stage.
1. Just start playing the guitar using the chords I already know and tab songs and then learn theory later in a year or two.
Or
2. Start right into music theory, reading standard notation and all that stuff which will take away from the time I have to actually play the guitar.
I guess this all comes down to time. I only have about 30 minutes a day to devote to playing the guitar and I am not sure if I should spend that time on the guitar or in a book.
Thanks
