I have always liked the DVD's put out by Fred Sokolow. I know there are a lot of free lessons on Youtube but Fred's stuff will have you playing in no time. If you pick up the "Frequently bought together" package on Amazon you'll have a very good lesson in the basics....

As far as guitars go, you can't go wrong with a Seagull S6 for dreadnaught or go with a 00 which is smaller for a couch guitar.
