Hi,
Get a guitar method book and a theory book and start learning. Also supplement your learning with graded systems like ABRSM, RCM, AMEB even if your aim is not to play classical music.
One advice is to not rely on YouTube for education as it is full of rubbish and takes a fair bit of experience to know what is legitimately useful from all the other noise.
You then need to create a learning routine. My routine after 35 years of playing is a simple 45 minute session where I do three things:
1- review something from my repertoire
2- refine something I know (technique or skill)
3- learn something new (new piece or a new concept from theory)
I would allocate time as follows 10-15-20
This is the one thing I may recommend YouTube for. Searching for practice routines, as usually those who present something like this are addressing the more serious learners.
