Great advice. 
Maybe even better if you’re a beginner is to do push ups instead of bench press. Once you can do 4 or 5 sets of 10 good quality push ups, it’s time to approach the bench. Push up handles are great for targetting the chest over shoulders/triceps.
Many folks also recommend starting with Romanian Deadlifts instead of Conventional Deadlifts. Slighty gentler, more hamstring-focused (especially if you keep your knees relatively straight and concentrate on depth). I like to alternate them with deadlifts if I’m lifting twice a week, as deads once a week is sufficient for me.
Oh, and goblet or kettlebell squats are just great for learning coordination and form before thinking about loading up a bar and squatting heavy.
