I really can't remember not playing something. Started way before I was a teenager and just recently applied for my retirement pension from the Musicians Union. Only job I ever had.
This seems to be a good place to start. Another is www.joetheguitarman.com. He's an old childhood friend with a neat teaching program.
My best advice is just do it. Every chance you get.
My guitar teaching friend mentioned talent to me a while back. I'm convinced that it's not that, it's just what you spend yur time doing. The more you do it, the better you get.
Take care and have fun,
