Hello, I am 30 years old and picked up a guiter for the first time. Just wondering if you can lead me to the best site for a beginner, well even below beginner, I cant read music either.... AM I HOPELESS... :(
You just found it friend. Welcome to the musical madhouse. AND! The best guitar forum on the net! :D
If you look on the home page you'll find some great absolute beginner articles, lessons, and easy songs to play.
Look here: Start Playing
:D
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- "WOW--What a Ride!"
30 and a beginner is not hopeless. I had you by more than 10 years when I started (and I don't think I'm hopeless)

April 6th, 2003, a month after my 42nd birthday, my first guitar purchased on E-bay (1990 Koran Squire Strat with a 10 watt CD10 practice amp for $110.00) arrived. Since that time four Guitars and two amps have come and gone and not more than a day goes by that I don't enjoy playing. Welcome Dave_C_73
Note* I sold that same Squire Strat and amp, March 2004, on ebay for $207.00 :oops:
