So i want to learn to play the guitar, but i want to be able to create my own songs and not just copy Yotube tutorials on playing songs i like. Where do i begin?
Pic unrelated, its the guitar that my roommate owns, i have an acoustic.

to write songs you need to understand music theory, understand song construction, and have technical ability - all of which are most easily acquired by learning and playing existing songs + practice drills

Yep, Justin is legit, learn with him and if you like him he even has a book on music theory, he's the real deal

learn to play other people's songs to acquire a technical and musical vocabulary
then write your own

one thing i learned while playing guitar is that there needs to be a lot of symmetry between your main finger and the other fingers (sans thumb of course, lol haha)
do a lot of finger stretches, i'm not even fucking joking. it will build up strength and dexterity in your other fingers so they can be on roughly the same level as your main finger.
