youtube how to’s and tutorials can be a great guide and tool to use (being that the person knows what the hell they’re talking about.) but theyre allways a gamble. its also hard to learn what is esential to any good musician, music theory. the best way to go about learning is to buy some books on how to play and music theory at ur local music store. I’m sure they will recommend some good ones and get you set on the right track. and of course as any other musician will tell you: practice till you cant feel your fingers, then pracitce some more.

First, you should learn basic chords and scales. The best selling guitar book of all time, “Mel Bay’s Deluxe Encyclopedia of Guitar Chords” is an invaluable learning tool that can be had for about $10. A book on theory and scales wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

Once you have got some basics under your belt you will find some great lessons by Marty Schwatz and also by rockongoodpeople, both found on youtube.

welcome to the world of guitar.
