I think Richard Lloyd had some but he took them down.

How basic?

From the very beginning!

For somebody who is also at the very beginning of learning to read music.

Or it could be stuff about basic theory etc (books even)

No one every responded? Just out of curiosity, is this for you, Don, or someone else, a kid? You might want to try one of those Rikky Rooksby books. Also Chord Progressions for Jazz and Popular Guitar by Arnie Berle.

Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book 1 is a common place to start. It’s very dry , but it shows you around the guitar and gives you the basics of melody and rhythm playing.

You might find some good lessons digging around youtube, but I haven’t looked into anything.

A number of guitar magazines publish their columns online or have blogs. Most of them that I’ve seen are at least for intermediate-level playing, but there might be something for beginners out there.

Not necessarily for beginners but just found some good stuff here: http://www.tuckandpatti.com/tuckscorner.shtml#goodies

Don, I think I found what you are looking for:
