But I've finally convinced myself to try.
Anyone have any Youtube channels that can help? And websites that explain scales and basic tabs? Any resources are appreciated.

Just to repeat what others have already said and stress them for emphasis:
Buy a guitar stand and keep it in a high traffic area. This is the single most important thing you can do to improve as a guitar player.
www.justinguitar.com is a fantastic resource. He has dozens of written and YouTube lessons for absolute beginners all the way up to experienced guitarists. I've been playing for 19 years, have been in bands and played gigs, and I've still learned a thing or two from Justin's site.
www.songsterr.com is great if you want to learn how to play a specific song.
I also suggest taking lessons from an in-person instructor. Justin is fine to get you started, but the non-interactive nature of his videos means that you might unknowingly develop bad habits that won't be corrected.
