Don't forget to warm up every time, don't go too crazy with chords, scale and arpeggios but do practice them often. And if you can, just put on some music and try to follow along, you'll learn real fast.

drums first. esp if you plan to record. you will need solid timing to record a decent sounding cohesive song

Then id learn the bass bc its basically guitar mini

then learn piano and guitar chords at the same time (find some simple three chord songs you love and learn to play them). do this a shit ton to build up your chord challenge. play to a metronome at least every now and again to be sure youre keeping time if you are unsure.

All the while, sing in the car, shower, on a walk, etc. Sing till you arent sounding like you are auditioning for american idol or a beyonce cover gig. sing til your true voice comes out and embrace it and learn of its strengths and weaknesses

​

this was my approach somewhat, and has proven to be a solid foundation for my recording

Also, if you are recording, spend some time tinkering in a program so when you are more instrumentally gifted you already know how to record decently. I use Fruity Loops and have for over two decades. LOVE it.

Guitar. And I might be biased because of the four things you listed, it's the one thing I've never managed to pick up. But I've never met a guitarist who couldn't at least muddle through on bass. And if you're trying to do it all yourself, it doesn't matter how great a drummer you are if you can't write/play melodies.
