best way to use this to learn?

[Joseph]

I tried to play today with the first song but it didn't have any instruction, should I do all of the lessons and then do the songs? bit confused

Personally, when I started with Rocksmith 2012 all the way back on the Xbox 360, I didn't get good until I found a song I really really liked, and that's my suggestion to you. Also go into the settings and tweak what you think fits your needs, whether that be songs getting more difficult faster or slower, or whatever. Try Riff Repeater, of course the lessons are super nice and even come with their own unique tracks that give you an idea of what each technique is used for, and if you're looking for something silly and entertaining to learn different techniques, you can jump into Guitarcade which has a bunch of classic style arcade games that teach you different things like String Skip Saloon which teaches... string skips (wow!) and Ducks Redux which teaches you the fret board mainly, and my personal favorite, Scale Racer which sees you in a highway escape from police where you've got to play scales to go faster. Session Mode is also neat when you want to just have a chill experience playing basically whatever you want with different backing instruments.
