for a tuner i'd suggest getting a snark clip on. tiny and cheap and works fine. easy enough to store in your guitar case and would free up a little more room for another pedal.
It's really one of the most rewarding things I've ever taught myself. Get a cheap tuner and look up a few chords, almost anything can be simplified to use the same three or four chords. Uhhhh...G, C and A? Idk I'm rusty. There's easy tab online for nearly any song you can think of.
I'd veto the Tuner for now, especially if you're just starting out. Kaptoo is right in a Tuner being something you can keep forever, but you can just as easily get a clip-on Snark and use that money elsewhere.
I'd recommend a good distortion or fuzz pedal. I feel like a good fuzz energizes my solos, giving me more grit and sustain. The best fuzz I've played through so far is Analogman's Sunface, but that's expensive. The Swollen Pickle sounds great, but I feel like you get even more fuzz with the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff for a lot less money. It's tried and true and Jack White has used one for a decade. But the Pickle's still a great pick, too! I like Way Huge.
It's good to get an overdrive and a separate fuzz to go between that crunchy jangle and full blown mayhem. The Fat Sandwich is a great pick for the Overdrive/Distortion category, but so is the Boss Blues Driver
I'm really into ambient rock, so a reverb was essential for me. I started out with the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail which is a good starter verb with Room, Hall, and Spring built in (Flerb is almost useless unless you do sound design for alien robots). Though I did notice a drop in volume with it on. I've heard good things about the Malekko Chicklet Reverb and the Boss FRV-1 reverb as well. YMMV.
But for $50 more you can get the Neunaber WET reverb which sounds phenomenal and doesn't cost as much as a Strymon...
Otherwise, wahs are a really popular starting point for pedalboards, but I don't use mine as much as others seem to.
And then, you can always get a delay pedal. I started with the MXR Carbon Copy which is a great pedal and it still has a place on my board, though I moved to a Strymon eventually. Way Huge also makes an analog delay called the Aqua Puss. Worth checking out
Happy hunting, my friend! You're starting a lifelong journey, here...
