Default Noob - Creating a child theme and Bones child theme - so confused!

Hello

I am new to using frameworks and have been developing stuff in wordpress for a long time now. I decided to start using frameworks because I am pretty confident with customization and stuff.

After I intalled genesis, I am so confused as to how I go about creating a child theme which I can edit and go about doing my business. I want a blank slate and there is no proper instructions how to create a child theme.

I found some base child themes on the net but they are all so confusing. I found the Bones Genesis Base and it look like a great idea except I have no idea how to edit the CSS becuase it uses less and have no idea how to modify that and make the changes I want even though I understand how to use LESS

All I want to know now is, what do I need in the styles.css and the functions.php for me to create a child theme and start customizing it or if someone could tell me how to use Bones and LESS that would be very helpful! I have been breaking my head on this matter the whole day!

Thanks
