good! u have the interest ... now, it's the determination!

borrow from a friend, just grab any guitar to play with ... no point going out to buy 1 and it just stay in a corner of your room.
learn a few basic chords, combination of 4 can play a song (e.g. C, Am, F, G) strum each chord ONCE, get the groove, tempo right
then get co-ordination of both hands, slowly buy surely ... u'll get it

happy learning

TS bro. very vague question but firstly,

GET A GUITAR.
Then study basic theories from websites like www.justinguitar.com
Parts of guitar and their uses, the different chords and notes on the fretboard and CAGED system.
Strumming patterns can learn like up up up up down down but as time goes by, its by feel.

recommendations on guitar to buy?
There are alot of threads on that. do a search.

+1 to getting a guitar. if you have genuine interest in playing, you need a guitar to get anything started.
