I was a student taking lessons in a music store. My teacher recommended me to fill a vacancy. That was in 1979.

If he/she is not a a total beginner, I determine where they are in their journey with a few questions. But, for beginners, I typically begin by teaching a few chords and I explain basic terms such as keys and positions. We will also discuss technique and learn the major scale and the blues scale in the first position. I will also recommend a book or two for sight reading and theory.
Every kind you can imagine. Ages 6 to 80. One of my students, Joel White, won first place in jazz ensemble compititions, in Texas, in 2016.
Be sure to research musicians from the past. It is hard to develop a unique style if you only listen to contemporary music.
I saw Jerry Doiuglas in concert recently. That was great!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Am I going to learn to read music?
(Some adults just prefer using tab and that is ok. But you need to consider what your goals are).
Am I prepared to practice 30 minutes minimum per day?
Is my guitar playable?
Does it need to be serviced?
