I think learning the most simple songs you can even single plucked note songs and learning to play them slow as possible is important. It teaches you that playing things slowly gives your brain a chance process the physical position with the sound created by plucking because not all of your brain is being used up trying to play faster and more complex then you are capable of. Most importantly approaching guitar like this will increase the total net time that you are playing musically and not being frustrated which has countless benefits.This stuff to me is the essential part of learning guitar. You don't want to be struggling for too long or you will get demotivated, so start off as simply and slowly as possible. Its amazing how quickly you can pick stuff up when you approach guitar with the right mentality. When you start off from 0 you can only go up but if you think you are 5 when you are a 0 you have to go back down to 0 and then back up which wastes time and is painful. Socrates said he was wise because he didnt know anything and it drove him towards curiosity and knowledge.
Be wise with guitar.
