Advice on how to learn about guitar? (self.guitars)

I got an old used guitar today. I never had any natural musical talent but it was fun to strum it and try to find some sembelance of a tune amid the mostly random strumming. I enjoyed using it and want to learn a bit more about how to use it. I was hoping you guys could point me to some good guides and references to help me learn and maybe some advice. Also will probably need a guide on reading sheet music eventually.

Everyone kept suggesting this to me but apparently I have weird musical taste and only like songs with fucking Barre chords and shit so all it ever did was make me give up, lol

You def won't be able to play EVERYTHING. Probably most things actually. But I bet there is some song you like or your parents kinda liked (that you don't mind) that only uses A, D, C, G, Am, Em, Dm.
