guitar
I don't know the first thing about playing guitar.. but I've always wanted to learn. I have this cheap acoustic, and no money for lessons... so is there any way I'd be able to learn it easily enough through some sort of website?
One of the first songs I want to learn is "This Boy: by James Morrison. Any tips?

The classic source for at-home guitar study is Mel Bay. (www.melbay.com) They have all sorts of guides out there for beginners, in all styles. The books are cheap, and you can usually buy DVDs to go with them. Youtube has a lot of guitar lessons as well.
Hope this helps.

There are websites online, that teach guitar chords for beginners. You have to learn the basic chords before you learn any songs or more complicated chords. Fortunately, with the knowledge of the basics, you can play innumerable songs.
I suggest finding a website that you can learn the basic chords. Practice one or two chords. Practice moving between these two chords until you can do it at speed. Then, add another and another, etc. Don't try to overload yourself by learning too many at one time. That will only lead to frustration.
After you've learned the basics, go to www.chordie.com. They have thousands and thousands of songs you can print out and play. Look for songs that have the chords that you know. Chordie is a really great sight!
Practice, practice, practice until your fingers bleed! Well, maybe not bleed, but develop callouses.
You'll also need to learn how to tune your guitar, which you can do through a website or by buying an electronic tuner.

First man if you haven't looked into guitars at all you can pick up on a few things just by searching google, because there are those cheap guitars out there with action so terrible that nobody can play a song with them unless you don't have to change cords or frets for the entire song so make sure to have an idea of what you defiantly don't want.
As far as playing the song goes you should be able to look on youtube for people that post guitar lessons
