How should I start learning how to play the guitar?

You might want to start with some basic finger exercises to get your hand accustomed to the strings.  Next you might want to learn some simple chords and a few songs to get you familiar with the instrument.  I recommend learning some classic songs to help you build your skills.  Are you interested in playing covers or originals?

The best way to start is with some basic finger exercises.  These are like a warm-up for your fingers.  It also helps you practice your picking hand.  Pick some simple pattern like a single note repeated, or a song riff that you repeat.  You can also do a little sight reading to help practice reading music.  There are lots of beginner exercises you can check out online.
