One of the very first requirements before you start playing is: tuning your guitar. Here are the number of strings and the notes that each should have according to the "standard" way of tuning. Beginning with the thickest string (6th) and working yourself down to the thinnest string (1st) here are the notes:
6-E
5-A
4-D
3-G
2-B
1-E
An online tuner (Google one) provides a very accurate pitch to each of these strings which you could listen to on your computer and match the pitch to your guitar strings. However, the best is to use a chromatic tuner that lets you "visually see" when you are in tune in each of the strings at a time. There are all sorts of variations to this tuning, but this is considered standard tuning. Have fun playing!
