i'd like to offer some real advice as a pretty impressive guitar player who has fricked girls as a direct result of said playing, which i can only assume is at least 90% of your sudden inspiration to learn:

lol @ learning sheet music. learn TAB. you'd figure it out real quick anyway b/c nothing is recorded or explained in sheet music for guitar, and if it is, there's TAB directly under it. a good website for song TABS is www.ultimate-guitar.com

Learn the open chords and power chords. You can generally play almost any rock song after learning that stuff. Once you get bored with that move to barre chords, (that will suck), and scales. Learning scales will also teach you the fretboard. Once you have all that I guarantee you will be able to play almost any song you wish to learn. Learning all the scales will also help make you a killer lead guitarist, and your confidence in playing with others will increase two fold. Somewhere in between all of this learn some theory, at the very least chord progressions. I-IV-V, etc. Then you'll know what to do when someone says, "Let's jam in A blues". It's definitely a journey, enjoy the ride

This. Also learn rhythm by playing along with song using one ear on headphones, knock earphones off, and see if you finish anywhere near where the song does. Also picking/playing with feel, not just running a pick over strings. This plus learning to tune via 5th and 7th fret harmonics will make the instrument more enjoyable to you and everyone
