The type of photography that interests you will be as much a determiner as to the magazine you choose. I suggest going to a large book store, reviewing what is available then making a selection from the ones that you feel offer you the most. I suggest you spend more time reviewing the departments in the magazine and less on the feature story, as the departments will remain consistent throughout a subscription and the features will be hit and miss.
Keep in mind, many photography magazines are around to promote products and often are pay-to-play, "infomercials." Once you sort the true articles from the ones that are ads, you will get more and better reliable information.

I like "Lucien B"s advice. Look around for those publications that appear to give you the most advice, in a format that you can use, at your level of experience.
Keep in mind that you will also be looking for information that can ADVANCE your learning. Just because a technique may be currently out of your reach, does not mean that you cannot adapt it to your current situation, or that you may not be able to use it in the near future. Don't be afraid of magazines that offer tips to the experience and professional photographers.
I, personally, used to get a LOT from Modern Photography. (I don't even know if it is still published) Even as a beginner, I found articles that covered a range of subjects from basic tutorials on techniques and terms (depth of field, focal lengths, available light, etc) and reviews and techniques on new equipment, films and featured artists. I even found the ads contained a LOT of useful information for an enthusiastic newcomer.

These days you can learn how to play guitar over the internet. Check out Mark McKenzie's guitar video lessons here: http://www.jamoramaguitar.com The videos are very easy to follow and to my surprise extremely helpful even for advanced guitar players. For beginners I would have to say this is a gold mine.
I was able to improve my skills in just under 4 weeks and I am an intermediate-to-advanced guitar player; I've been playing guitar for the past 6 years and I was on stage with my band a lot of times.
I live in New York City, I wanted to go to a pro guitar teacher but that would have cost me over $1400 per month. Good thing with this internet, $1400 it's a lot of money for me. Good luck!

Pop Photo and Outdoor Photographer cover a lot of beginning technique and have question and answer sections and how-to articles. I have heard people poo-poo them, and it's true that for advanced photographers they don't have all that much to offer. But for beginners, they are well written and informative. I think you would learn and enjoy.
