The best way to learn to play guitar?

My wife and kids bought a guitar for me for Father's Day. I never really played so I'm wondering what is the best way to learn to play. These lessons were the fastest route, or are there some books or DVD's would you recommend for a beginner? Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Classes are by far the best way, especially for the beginner rank. In addition to getting you started on the right track, he or she will be able to respond to a myriad of issues that I guarantee you will have, as a way of tuning, changing strings, and so on. Good luck. Keep practicing!
