I wouldnt get to wound up in the trying to learn to read music thing. its boring!concentrate on enjoying playing and you’ll pick it up passively. As for resources, the advice for justin guitar is bang on,its really good.
my main bit of advice would be to learn slowly and learn right. Dont practice bad habits. A good teacher by the way is the best way to go.
good luck, and dont get despondant when your not steve vai after a week.
