Marty is amazing. Funny as well as technically good. I remember watching loads of his videos during my early days.

You didn't say how far along you are, so if you need to start at the beginning there are 10 lessons here: Free Guitar Lessons Online With Rex Pearson

You can select more advanced lessons from top menu.

What style of playing? Rhythm, lead, classical...?

Lets just say I am a total amateur in this. I am not doing it to be a Rock star. Its my long cherished wish that I could play Guitar. So I jumped in and determined to learn.

Go to South America to learn to play guitar. There are so many great guitar players there, it is freakish.

There are sites on the internet that let you take free lessons to see if that is what suits you. Self taught is ok as well with books and dvds but they lack interaction and you may be learning some bad habits.
I would suggest do some of your own research into learning guitar and find something that suits your lifestyle as well as budget.

There's a great exercise for developing picking, fingering and hand-eye co-ordination. It's called the chromatic exercise. Trust me, as boring and unmusical as it is, it is the best thing you can do to get things rolling. It's kinda like the Karate Kid painting the fence etc., doesn't appear to be doing anything, but you notice the improvement in your playing when you do it regularly.

Here's a random video I found that is very good. Check his picking hand as well, all down-up-down-up. Start with a downstroke and keep it alternate - never 2 ups or downs in a row, always alternate picking. As he says, the descending pattern is quite harder.

I only do it using the ascending pattern and I work my way down to the 12th fret at least, then work my way back up the neck. Otherwise your hand gets sore too quickly and it helps to get used to the whole fretboard anyway. I use this before I play each week and it really helps get you loosened up and in the zone more, just like warming up for any activity does. I find it clears the mind as well.

Put youtube forward slash in front of this. (hope that's ok)

Don't confuse yourself with learning too many things, or you'll overwhelm yourself. This is all you need, 20 minutes a day 3 times a week minimum. 30 minutes 5 days would be great. Practise without the TV on or any other distractions.

Learn an open chord each week and in a few months you'll be good. Everything he says is pretty good advice and you can tell he's a decent player.

Google is god..you can ask him. I was planning to start a video on guitar class for a long time..hope to start one soon.

I also want to learn the guitar. I'll probably go on youtube and just watch and learn...when I have more time.
