I'm not much of a guitarist when it comes to playing chords, which is why I stick to bass. But my suggestion for anyone learning guitar is to check out the guitar pro 4 software, very, very useful. you can download a trial(which is all you need if you aren't writing) from
www.guitar-pro.com and tabs for most songs are at
www.mysongbook.com
I really hate to site plug, but I find it VERY helpful.
