For a beginner, online lessons may not work out. Once you can play, they are a fabulous source of tricks and what-not.
When starting, you need someone there to watch your physical posture, hand position etc. - who can correct you before a bad habit evolves, which can take as long to get rid of as it did to acquire. Pay a good teacher, at a reputable store or school, not some friend or guitar player who thinks he's a teacher, and everything will be much easier later on.
