First of all you're going to need to learn chords, especially if you're playing an acoustic guitar, but for electric as well, it is easier to use a chord chart when you're starting and just referring to it while you learn songs!. so heres a site for that

http://www!.chordie!.com/chords!.php (remember the leftmost line is the thickest string) the black dots on the lines represent your fingers, and the white circles on top mean youre playing an open string, one that doesnt require you to press down on any fret

You'll also need a good place to find tabs go here you can find everything http://ultimate-guitar!.com/, and when you get good you can upload your own!. Remember the best way to learn to play is to practice, and its easy to practice while you're learning a song, Ultimate Guitar uses tabs and if you dont know how to read those here http://guitar!.about!.com/library/blhowtor!.!.!.

Have fun and start off with easy music, try dashboard confessional, you may not like the music, but its easy to play and there are always tons of covers (people playing the song who arent part of the band that created it) on youtube, so if you get stuck you can always watch them,Www@QuestionHome@Com
