Default Learning music

I am not really sure where to put this so if it needs to be moved, please go ahead.

This year I really want to learn how to play a musical instrument(I am learning towards guitar) but I have absolutely no musical backround in regards to reading music, understanding scales and frets and the theory behing music.

So my question is how should I go about this? Should I try find a general music teacher in the area and learn the theory behind music before going onto an actual guitar teacher or would that aspect be covered by the guitar teacher? Obviously I will be doing alot of reading on the internet and try to learn as much as I can by myself but I feel it would be the right and better way to learn by also having a teacher.

I appreciate anyone chiming in.

Thanks in advance

Guy
