www.ultimate-guitar.com   has alot of tabs for the guitar an bass  I using it to learn the bass  you can search  by artist  or by song. Check it out

Answer 2

I tought myself how to play...it can be really frustrating...I used "Guitar for Dummies" Volume 2 it's really good at explaining everything...also YouTube is a huge help, there's a ton of tutorials on there that you can learn to play just about any song...some users even take requests for tuturials...whatever you choose, good luck and keep with it!

Answer 3

Teach Yourself Visually Guitar

I believe the newest version is from 2006, seeing as it's different from the one I have. It's a REALLY good book if you're a visual learner: simple, easy to follow directions; diagrams, pictures, etc.

If you want to really learn notes, pick up Mel Bay's Complete Method for Modern Guitar. It's a fat blue book, but it's worth the size, and price.

Answer 4

There are too many to judge.  Your best bet is too find an experienced guitarist to give you some direction.  In the mean time, here's a bunch of free sites.  Good luck.
