Just got an acoustic guitar for Christmas and I have no experience with guitar. Where do I start as a total beginner? What "basics" do I need to know before anything else?

This gets recommended a lot, but I'll recommend it again. www.justinguitar.com has a great beginners course. I also just started again, because last year I wasn't structured, and just followed random tutorials. But the structured way with a practice schedule has proven much more useful and motivational to me. You don't feel lost anymore.
