After sitting around and wishing I knew how to play the guitar, I've finally decided to just go ahead and learn. I’m not new to music by any means, I've been playing violin and piano since I was 5 years old (I'm now 24) and have been in some light touch with the guitar.
My biggest problem now is where to start. I also understand that there are two different types of acoustic guitars: steel-string and classical. I'd actually like to learn a bit of both...to be able to play some classical guitar (John Williams blows me away) along with some more light-hearted Jack Johnson-type stuff. I plan on taking some online lessons to help get me started and want to have a source that can match all the needs I want like learning all the chords,. I just don’t it to be over soon, but practice with daily lessons.
Suggest me something that I can look upon …… Sorry for the long post and thanks for your help!

Carry on pushing yourself and try and learn more songs if you are using classical or acoustic.

Broaden your music taste as much as you can and make the guitar parts you learn, your own.

This is the best lesson IMO

Sounds like you are affiliated with hotstrings - I personally think you can find plenty of free quality articles to help you learn guitar.

And of course a lot of hard work.

I am not a fan of these types of programs

I have been playing the acoustic for about 1 year now and i have had no lessons what so ever. i bought my own chord book and read music and started playing. i havent even thought about getting lessons. its hard starting off but you should get used to it.
