This is for a true beginner. Unless you just started lifting less than 6 months ago, it’s probably not the way to go.

Thank you and no I did not. I’m going to continue with my current p/p/l I think. I can’t even deadlift right now because of a muscle tear affecting my sciatic nerve.

You may want to pull back on your training until you heal up, it’s going to be difficult to progressively train with an injury like that. The weights aren’t going anywhere.

It’s not as bad as it sounds. I’ve been allowing it to heal for the past month, I just don’t deadlift because that’s the only time I feel discomfort

Focus on your bench and seated overhead! I always could push those harder when I was hurt and couldn’t spend the energy on lower body. You may be limited somewhere but you can definitely make some great gains still elsewhere!
 
If you're considering Greyskull LP just do Starting Strength. Greyskull is just Starting Strength messed with by a fairly stupid guy (John Schaeffer) who doesn't understand that his modifications make the program less effective.
