Topic: Where do I start?

I am trying to teach myself how to play the guitar.  The only thing I know how to do is play some chords off my guitar chart. Is there any suggestions that yall have for me to help me learn....is there any books that could help me or videos?  I want to take lessons this summer, but I will be to busy.  I love the guitar and it has always been my dream to be able to play decent. If you have any comments or suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks smile:)

That site just changed my guitar life forever.
I will now solo instead of playing chords all the time.
This is the new beginning.
