A lot of learning (guitar) for me was just jamming and getting a feel for chord transitions and stuff. As soon as I could play a few different chords though I remember just jamming and messing around which eventually lead to the first song I ever wrote.

I definitely learned a few simple tunes before that though. I think it's essential to learn at least a few songs before you start writing. Getting a feel for structure is important. Even if it's a four chord song. The first song I learned was Horse With No Name and that's only two chords haha

And as a side note I love covering songs. I still do a lot of covers I'm always down to learn more of my favorite songs. I think it's a show of respect for the artist. It's also nice to take a break from writiing and its always fun be able to play your favorite jams.
