As far as starting points, Bucket's list is a great place to be. That said, one of the very key parts of learning TGM is to understand how important the hands are.

Learn to monitor where your hands are. Learn to feel that #3 pressure point.

No matter what the rest of the body does, ultimately it is the pressure points (hands) and their relationship to the plane line.

Learning to control the 3 parts of the club.

Clubface (left wrist)
Clubshaft (right forearm)
Clubhead (#3 pressure point)

For me personally, nothing else mattered until I learned to control the left wrist. I had grown up with a pretty pure swinging motion, so CF took care of the clubshaft and clubhead for the most part - but the clubface - the left wrist, needed to be educated.

To learn the pressure points, start with one hand only putts. Learn to feel the #3 pressure point with right hand only putts, and the #2 pressure point with left hand only putts.

You can hear the difference in your impact when you get it right, even with the putter.
