I never joined one of those online learning courses. So I don't know how good they are. There is so much in terms of resources out there it's tough to point to just one and say that's the best. I would pick Book/CD or DVD over online stuff. Check out Hal Leonard and other publishers, and see what they have to offer -- Rock, Jazz, Country whatever you are into. You can look into play-along or how-to books. Funds permitting, you can buy those books on online music store web sites or online retailers.

I think training your ear is better than relying on tabs or a video explanation, something like the Tascam GB-10 (or some practice amp with an audio in) is good for that where you hear the music and can jam along with it.

There are quite a few guitar videos that been uploaded to YT. Everyone from guitar-players like Steve Howe to Richard Lloyd - "Alchemical Guitarist." Not to mention amateurs who might show you how to play in a style of guitar player. You can find almost everything from Jazz to Shoegaze tutorials on YouTube.
