I am expecting it to be hard and frustrating, but rewarding. I've ordered the chord buddy tool for downtime, I've got my learn to play program ready to go (Justin Guitar) and am ready to start. Any tips for a guy starting from ground zero?

Which guitar are you getting? Like others have said, make sure the instrument is of decent enough quality that you enjoy picking it up every day and playing. The action (gap between strings and fretboard) is important to how easy it will be to make chord shapes and individual notes. I've been playing for 20 years and still hate barre chords on 75% of guitars I pick up.
