Bubba you got the web you got lessons. There all over the place. You want basic music theory, its there too. Look at this site. http://www.zentao.com/guitar. Theres and excellent set of lessons and all the basic theory you need to make sence of what your playing. You kinda sound pretty down on yourself, I spent my 15th summer in hospital or at home the guitar was my only friend then, and I couldn't play it then. I couldn't even see it for half the summer. But I learned how.
