Welcome on board man! Being a beginner is a good thing actually! You get exponentially better with each new day/practise session, it’s great fun and very motivating! Also, having the open/uncolored mind of a beginner also means that you are often more open to unrestricted experimentation and fresh songwriting.
As for the playing part, I’d recommend you go to Lesson Categories/ Lessons by Skill Level /Beginner Guitar Lessons, and you’ll find tons of lessons to browse through.
A suggestion would be to make up a daily practice schedule that consists of both coordination and technique exercises (to get your fingers in motion) and also some lessons on chords and strumming. After you start to feel comfortable switching between various chords and fingerings, begin to take a gander at other lessons such as scales and other stuff. I can’t stress enough however the importance of trying to create and write your own musical ideas as soon as possible! Even if you just make tiny variations on existing songs you learn it is still this ability to “learn–> Adapt–>Change –>Create” that will keep you interested and inspired to play and practice!
Say your schedule allows for 2 hours of guitar playing /day, I would divide those half/half. First 3×20 min of various coordination and technical exercises, and then 2x3o min of song-learning. Also remember, it is always better to practice intensely for 1 hour/day than a marathon of 7 hours on a weekend, constant and regular repetition is the key!
