So anyway, this is not bad advice. Playing along with the album will give you control over power chords and at least one non 4/4 time signature (I think?) as well as basic pentatonic stuff, which you will later find out is an integral part of guitarsmanship. Do this as a supplement to a good, traditional how-to-play-guitar resource and you will be on your way to something.

Also: resist the urges to buy tremolo and whammy pedals and to do everything in Drop-D at least until you have been playing a while.

Nodaisho:
Anything by AC/DC is also pretty simple, TNT, Dirty Deeds, and Highway to Hell would all be very easy beginner ones, some of the songs are more complicated, but still not very complicated at all. They also have the benefit of being really really fun to play.

MadassAlex:
I would honestly advise against learning RATM.

Since it's in drop-D tuning, you'll learn to play primarily in that tuning, while you should be learning to play in standard tuning. I personally think that you should learn a very simple song like Breaking The Law by Judas Priest while learning some basic chords from a book or a Beatles song or whatever, since the complete versions of chords provide the basis for the legendary power chord.

Nodaisho:
Beatles songs are good to start with, that is true.

I suppose that if you want to know what songs would be good to learn, tell us what bands you like, and some of us ought to know songs from them that are relatively easy to learn.
