I played keys in my early musical life, gave it up for about 25 years, picked up a strat in '09 and have been playing almost every day since. There are a lot of ways to learn these days. There's some good stuff online and some good YouTube lessons. There are also some really bad 8 year old kids with a kit in the box guitar that think they are ready to post You Tube lessons that really suck.

My daughter bought a bass guitar and is learning from a book and dvd for now. I've discovered that I really like bass, maybe more than guitar. Funny thing is that I am playing my daughter's Squire Jazz bass. She's a righty and I'm a southpaw. Playing upside-down really sucks, so I guess I will have to find a lefty. That said, bass came naturally. My next challenge will be relearning a lot on a lefty bass that is properly strung for me.
