Well don't go out and try to learn some Jimi Hendrix right away. Start with something simple, such as punk songs, or chrismas carols. Something that is very basic. If you try and learn one of your favorite songs right away, it might discourage you.
Or:
Good riddance-Green Day, simple but it may take a while for some.

its very essential that you learn all the basic techniwues and get it right! there´s nothing more difficult then getting rid of a wrong-learned technique. i say - as always - if you want to get into good guitarplaying from the very start go and get a real-life teacher.

start out with chords c, d, and g. There frequentl used in alot of songs. Play those slowly to build up callouses, then string them togther and try to make them sound clear. By making tehm sound clear, you will learn to play properly, ie by hitting the preciese angle of finger tip to fretboard etc. If u dont want or cant afford lessions, that no problem as many great muscians never took lessons. I will however take you longer or make u more frustrated but that can be offset by spending more hours. Consult the webs site lessons as they are not bad...but lack of feed back can really hinder learning, so come and ask questions when stuck. This should take you about 2 months at one hour a day to get to know and play 3-6 chords at a descent pace. from there you can merge to whatever style you want gradually.
p.s. dont get discourage, and every thing might seem that it is too hard you will never get it, but its just practice, and some helpful advice :)
It is true that you should follow proper technique as practice makes permenent and perfect practice makes perfect, so follow the instructions slowly or sooner or later youll find your self screwing up and its hard to turn back then and undo what u have done.

I'm not saying not too, but it MAY discourage you. The first song I learned was "House Of The Rising Sun" by The Animals. very simple song.
Am,C,D,F,E
check it out and almost any tab site.
(You want the fingerpicking, or single note plucking one)

You don't have to get a guitar teacher. Some people say its worth it, others say it is better to teach yourself. Which ever feels right to you. Learn theory, chords, and ask around for some simple songs once you get your basic chords down.

maybe to you... i prefer having a teacher, but I know a few guitarists who totally disagree with that.
