From what you have said, you have not played guitar before, sooo:
well I cannot read music, but what I did to teach myself was going up and down on a ladder on all the strings(not the whole string) with your four playing fingers, to get used to using them...so basically heres what I am saying...
Start off on the first string(the thinnest), play the open string, then hit the 1st fret with your pointer, the second with your middle, the third with your ring finger, and fourth with your pinkey.
This will get you used to using all of your fingers.

I am going to write a tab of a spanish song you can use to be your first song.

But yes, the first thing you want to do is the ladder, and over time, play it faster and faster.
