If you don't know where to begin, a teacher would be very helpful.

Even 3-4 lessons will keep you busy for 2-3 months, given you are willing to practice rather than trying to play muse songs.

Get a teacher.

Learn technique.

Listen to and play many different genres of music.

Learn basic music theory.

Learn to play some guitar or keyboards as well.

Find a band to play in.

Work on developing an ear for the music, i.e. ear training.

Always play with a metronome or a drum machine. Timing is THE most important thing in music after playing notes that fits.

Practice. Practice. Practice...
