Damn I wanna learn to play guitar. I took lessons a long. long time ago. Like 30 years ago. Ouch it hurts to say I did something 30 years ago.
I can sorta play harmonica and the jews harp but I'd love to learn to play guitar so I can do more than air guitar when my favorite songs come on the radio.
Although guitar would be cool too. I'd have to play it backwards since I'm used to...okay there's no way I can say this without it sounding dirty...using my left hand to shorten the strings to make the notes. Okay, there was a way.
The term that was used Back in The Day of viola lessons was "fingering" the strings.
See, with viola you hold the bow in your right hand and the instrument in the left. I'd have to play guitar like a right-handed person. This was told to me by the same guy who got "Crazy Train" stuck in my head for six years.
I'm too far to personally give you lessons, but I can point you to some good books and videos. I've been playing for 15 years... yeah... I'm only halfway to thirty and that sounds like a long time.

That may be the scariest thing I've heard all day.
