I learned a song or two and a bunch of pieces of other songs, lol. I will look into more of this stuff after I can get a little more experience from just playing. I feel like I need more hands on experience before I overload myself with knowledge.

Just wanted to bump this topic and inform everyone that I'm thinking of taking up the flute, what do you guys think? Learning two instruments at the same time as a complete music "noob"?

Haha, I actually tried recording myself and thought about posting it but when I went to do it I realize that my iPods audio recording is fucked up and I tried cleaning it out and that helped a little but you honestly can't hear SHIT even if the pod is right up next to the sound hole.
Oh and moonlight, do you still enjoy playing the flute?

Yup! Still one of my favorites. One day I'll mix guitar and flute together in a recording, that should be cool

Most guitar chords are two triads paired. (123) + (123) 1 & 3 are octaves (repeated notes) 2 is the defining note which governs major/minor. There are only 11 notes in total. Guitar is all about shapes you can move (or slide) A single shape on 11 different frets.
Starting in one position (chord shape) Learn the 11 notes, & their relation to eachother. Learn the major/minor of each. (One shape each, on different frets) See how they all connect like a large web.
If you add a second chord shape now, you'll begin to see arpeggio patterns. These will open doors for you. What kinds of scales you discover won't matter. Within the 11 notes, find meaning and emotion for what you would like to convey.
Enjoy! String the pieces together.

see, that's the thing that continues to baffle me, about music theory and instruments and learning to play and everything.. what mckenna said kind of confused me, from a theory stand point at least (with the numbers), but if it helps you learn anything at all, than nothing else even matters! it's all about the feels. if you don't feel it, who cares what sort of advanced theory you know? just keep playing, man. music is a universal language, and i have met the most wonderful people i know because of my own love of music.
for example... this thread! it's awesome.

Why would people seek out situations which induce such unpleasant symptoms?" "Because when the other person feels the same way you do, it's the most wonderful thing in life."

Oh, I am. Also I may have said this earlier in this thread but I'm looking into learning another instrument along with the guitar, it's just too fun. Haha.

His guitar has an extra fret before the octave; he's on another level, pushing past even those quarter tones of Indian music.

Dude there are 12 notes, not 11. On the guitar the 12th fret is the 13th note.
