Instrument Polish

What's the best way to learn to play an instrument?
I'm a pretty good vocalist and I just got accepted to the #1 Jazz Choir in the Northwest, but I'm not the best sight reader (of music). I figure I should learn to play an instrument so I can polish my music reading abilities but I don't know where to begin. Help would be much obliged.
Can you actually "read" music? If you can and understand all of the theory, then my suggestion is to pick an instrument (most vocalists go with piano -- I like guitar), buy one and start playing. Get a book and learn fingering and chord progressions. Learn to listen. Learn a few simple songs and then reach out and find a friend or two who also play and get with them. You'lll be amazed at what you learn from them and what you can teach them.
I like to keep one of my guitars by my easy chair so that I can just pick it up and start picking. Without even thinking about it, I can easily knock out a couple hours a day of practice.
Listen to a lot of different kinds of music and see if you can play along or imitate what you're hearing.
I like to "borrow" some of the hymnals from church, take them home and transpose the music to guitar.
