No you don't need a background in music theory. 

Here are a few additional resources that might be helpful:

Online tutorials: You can check out websites like Guitar Tricks, JustinGuitar, or Fender Play for online courses that cater to beginners.

Local music shops: If you're looking for expert advice on what guitar to start with, it's always a good idea to visit a local music shop. You can ask the staff for recommendations based on your budget and preferences, and even try out different guitars before making a decision.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
