I don’t know what’s online, but I’m sure you’ll find something in search. But if you have cable tv, there are things like that on Ondemand.
Try the one below it is very good for beginners and free
what kind of music? do you want to play lead or rhythm?
can you read music or guitar tablature?
i would first learn (as i did) a few simple chords and each week learn a few more. once you have a basic grasp and can change chords smoothly etc then start on learning simple lead patterns.. walk dont run!!

I am sceptical of learning guitar through online study.It is like learning swimming through correspondence course.If you want to just play a few songs it may be ok.If you want to master guitar and become good at it it requires professional training.There may be youth clubs and associations around you imparting training.Church music groups are other resource centres.It will be better for you to pay and learn in the long run.Good Luck
If you are on any sort of benefit, you could book an adult education class at a reduced cost.
it seems that all the sites are covered
just pick up your guitar and play
You might also visit a good music shop and pick up a guitar for beginners book. Most will come with a DVD or CD that will help you to learn the basics and they shouldn’t be too expensive!
Good luck!

Use the net to ‘guitar tuning’ and ‘read guitar tabs’ (just type these into your browser or wikipedia)
Then I can recommend scooting the net for guitar tabs and just trying to play anything basic…start with one or two simple chords, focusing on playing them comfortably and cleanly… and go from there!
The links people have given on here also look really helpful…
Hi there – I’ve been playing for a few years now.
I’ve recently been looking on youtube.com – - – - -
there’s tons and tons of decent videos on how to play, techniques, how to play particular songs, etc
You can subscribe to videos too and request videos to be made if you wish.
there is a site, mysongbook.com, that has all sort of useful bits and although it doesn’t teach in the sense of the word, there is a lot you can pick up!
