I'm a guitar player. I don't have a website teaching, but I can teach.

Sounds like what you need is to learn first are the basic open position chords on the first 3 frets. Just go buy a song book with the chord diagrams at the top of the music staff, and make sure they have a lot of songs you already know, or have the audio to.

To really... get a lot out of the guitar, learning some music theory will really boost your playing and understanding of songwriting, and learning to write your own songs. Here's an outline to get to that level:

1. basic understanding of the Major Scale
2. intervals
3. Triads (3 note chords)
4. harmonized Major scale (in chords)
5. chord progressions (I-IV-V or ii-V-I, etc.)
6. song forms (AABA, ABABAB, etc.)
7. minor scales and progressions


If you were to continue with wanting to learn lead solo playing, then:

Minimum:
1. Major scale in all keys, 5 positions tied up and down the neck.

Further:
2. Pentatonic scale
3. Blues scale
4. Minor scales (Natural minor, Harmonic minor, Melodic minor)
5. Whole Tone
6. Diminished

Deeper:
Jazz and Classical harmony
Chord Melody (drop 2 voicings, 12 positions on neck for same 4 note chord)
