I want to learn guitar. does anyone have any recommendations

Youtube and practice. Pick a song you love so you'll really want to learn it (try and choose one that sounds fairly simple tho, don't go right for john butlers ocean haha) and look up beginner tutorials for it on YouTube. I really like Marty Music/GuitarJamz and Guitar Zero2Hero Express but there are so many for almost every song. That will teach you some basic chords while learning a song which is fun. Then just repeat and youll start to learn more chords and songs and start to "get it". Good luck, stick with it!!
