I am currently weight training 3 days/week (MWF), routine currently consists of working every muscle group every day. 1 exercise /group. I am curious if this would quality as overtraining or not, and any recommendations that may be more beneficial.. by the way, beginner lifter.
Thanks
good or bad??

It probably would not be overtraining, not unless you do something nutso, like multiple 10 second reps, and go to failure as well, (something I think but might be wrong, that Dorian Yates use to do, not as a beginner though), but you could run the risk at the moment, of not properly adapting your muscles, leaving any sort of split, or slightly advanced training regime, 4-6 weeks in, difficult to get started.
You would be better going for the 3x a week, total body regime, with 2 sets per muscle as Swanso said. Standard beginner tactic, and just make sure you keep your weights low. You could always add a couple of lb's to the weights, at the start of each week, so by about 4-6 weeks in, you would be at approximately 80%-90%, of your maximum lifting ability for reps.
Just so you're not doing loads of adaption work, with little pinkies for 4 weeks
