Also when you buy solder make sure you get flux core conductive solder or get a jar of flux and conductive solder. The flux helps clean the metal and helps make it stick. Stay away from getting plumbing solder it doesn't conduct electricity well because its meant for sweating copper pipe joints.
You also want to take a bit of sandpaper and sand off the plating if the metal is shiny otherwise the solder wont stick to it very well.
Good luck and be careful with the soldering iron always place the tip away from combustible materials because the iron tip stays hot for along time!
