There are the Getting Started videos that you should look at. Then under Help -> Tutorials there are beginner's tutorials to teach you how the interface and basic tools work.

Then come to www.3dtotal.com , go to Tutorials, Beginners and select your desired tutorial.

Welcome to the Threedy community and to the 3ds max community!

Ow yeah and welcome ofc.
I also suggest to start with 3D Maxes own tutorials. They should get you on your way. And from there there are tons of tutorials to be found on the web.
