    but anyway, she gave it to me

I'd really recommend learning the basics from a guitar teacher, as they can really speed up the learning and can fix important beginners mistakes early on. But if that's not an option, Justin Guitar is quite good I've heard. I'd suggest to focus on chords as they are building blocks to a huge amount of songs. Once you know the basic chords (Am, C, D, Dm, E, Em, G and F) you can learn yourself some songs with something like Ultimate Guitar (select Novice songs, they are a good first step).

I can see the value of weeding out beginner mistakes or the beginnings of poor tendencies with a teacher, for sure. I guess what I'm most concerned about at the moment is how I should use my fingers, as well as chords, scales and voicings. Thanks!
