Anyone have any Youtube channels that can help? And websites that explain scales and basic tabs? Any resources are appreciated.
I've never used the site myself, but http://www.justinguitar.com seems to have a good reputation on some of the guitar forums/boards I visit.

One tip I'll say is this, get a guitar stand & keep the guitar next to the couch. Get into the habit of just noodling around while watching tv. If you're not learning a specific song just practice simple exercises like switching between chords or running a few scales.

And just to start a flame war, Les Pauls are better than anything fender ever put out.
