I think this is what you might like to do as a beginner:
1) Learn all open position chords. Will help you to start strumming along to many songs and will make the process of learning the guitar more exciting...
2) Learn one scale at a time along with some related chords and understand how chords are constructed from a scale and how they relate to that scale.
3) Practice finger exercises, to increase finger strength!
