guitars does the brand really matter?

Nice guitar, you'll get a lot of enjoyment from that. I really wouldn't bother with an amp just yet. Have a look at ikmultimedia.com
They make interfaces to connect your guitar to your PC, iPad or mac. That way all you need is your guitar, headphones and a computer and you are sorted.

i only have my iphone since my laptop broke, a newb question here, on the pickups there is a a film cover over them, can i pull them off or not, i no i think they should come off but just making sure

Yes just pull it off if you wish...

If you have an iPhone get yourself an irig from ikmutimedia and you have yourself a pocket sized amp. Plug it into your iPhone and plug your guitar into your irig. Then get headphones on and your all set

I have an iRig and I've pretty much stopped using my amp! It hooks up to my iPad, and works great with garage band or any of the amp apps on there.

For practice and learning i would get one of these.... www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009YZ1JYS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 i liked these so much i bought a second one... they are far better than the VOX version i had, adjustable Tone, Drive, Volume, it does anything from super clean to heavy rock, you can also use ear buds or full blown headphones... Its been one of the best bits of kit i have bought,... i dont touch my amp much these days tbh.

Get yourself an iPad pro.  It really is a worthwhile upgrade.  Has a noise filter built in so you get a much cleaner signal
