  1. There isn't an easy way.  It takes a lot of time, and dedication.  Here are some sites you can check out.

  2. use tabs. its pretty easy to learn a song that way. here's a great site, but beware some of the tabs are wrong! and if you dont get tablature right away (dont worry I didn't) just google "How to read tabs or tablature"

  3. Do you play a wind instrument?  It's quite different from a string instrument.  

    Guitar is very intuitive when it comes to reading music.  

    So let's say you're on the open B string (the following notation is in treble clef):

    --------------------------------------...

    --------------------------------------...

    ------------------------------0-------...

    --------------------------------------...

    --------------------------------------...

    Now you want to play C:

    --------------------------------------...

    --------------------------------------...

    --------------------------------------...

    --------------------------------------...

    --------------------------------------...

    To play the above note, just put you're finger on the first fret on the B string.  Each fret on a guitar is a half step-up for the last fret.

    E - frets: F F#/Gb G G#/Ab A... and so on

    B - frets: C C#/Db D D#/Eb E (which is same note as next string)... and so on

    G - frets: G#/Ab A A#/Bb B (which is same note as next string).. and so on

    D - frets: D#/Eb E F F#/Gb G (which is same note as next string)... and so on

    A - frets: A#/Bb C C#/Db D (which is same note as next string) ... and so on

    E - frets: F F#/Gb G G#/Ab A (which is same note as the next string) ... and so on

    hope this helps
