You should learn some theory. Scales and chords are probably the best things to learn. Look around this site for how to do this.
Electric Guitars are the inspiration for cries of "Turn that damn thing down"-Gibson website

I think the single most important thing to learn when first starting out is getting to know the fretboard. Finger independance.
Here's a little plug of one of my lessons to get you started:

There are many lessons like this all over this site...but you get the idea.
And also start learning chords.
Get the basics down first, then worry about theory later.
There is no real or right way to start out when learning. Everyone learns differently. Just offering a tip of what helped me out :-)

I started learning guitar because of Randy Rhoads..but Yngwie J. Malmsteen is my biggest influence.

Theory can be boring for a begginer, basic exercises too. Usualy what a begginer wants is fast progression and the best way to achive that is simply through learnings easyer rock band songs. AC/DC is great example and learning cool riffs like some easy stuff by Metallica, Thunderstruck intro, Crazy Train intro riff... I think that it´s very important for futher inspiration.
For ex. I always wanted to play solos and I remember how proud I was over my self and how much inspiration I got after learning Ain´t It Fun intro solo (Slash). Sweet child of mine was also a ten pointer no to mention when I began to master Thunderstruck intro riff.

Plus, once you get that stuff down, the theory is easy. Its like a different mentality, like "I can play Thunderstruck, so this C major scale in easy!"
And God said, 'Let there be rock!'

Your exactly right. I wanted to solo before I could play a song, Although I learned Iron Man first (Not the solo untill years later (not exciting enough at the time)). The first solo I ever mastered and is still to this day one of my favorites are both solo's to Ozzy/Randy's Mr. Crowley (live version from tribute).
