good for you - age is a mere inconvenience when you're young at heart...
here are a few suggestions to get started:
learn how to tune the guitar
learn how to make a single note sustain
learn the basic major & minor chords in the first position (E F G A B C D)
learn how to make a barre chord
pick a few of your favorite songs to work on
work on switching chord changes as smoothly as possible
pick a few reasonably easy solos to try to replicate
spend many hours, months, years doing this...
expand your intake from as many sources that inspire you as possible
play in public
play with people who are better than you
try to play while sing-talking the words
HAVE TOO MUCH FUN!!!!!
