Start with a nylon string acoustic guitar. Buy a high quality, but inexpensive guitar. I recommend Seagull brands starting at $225, but you can get cheaper imports. Metal strings are hard on the fingers for beginners. Electric guitar is played differently than acoustic. I don't recommend starting with electric. Get a basic chord book. Find a teacher. You can start learning from anyone who is more experienced than yourself. Play together. Learn to read tabature. This is where guitar music is written by showing the actual finger positions on the fretboard. Get a songbook of your favorite tunes. Never put down the guitar.
