If you play daily for at least an hour, it should take a good week and a half. I'm not familiar with that site, but I highly recommend the Esteban guitar dvd's he has out. They are really good at gave me a big jump into the guitar.

thanks, I'll look up the Esteban DVD's
I'm a little discouraged with the fingertips, but a week and a half gives me hope.

Which beginning videos on this site do you recommend? So far, the site seems a bit confusing as to which of the 150 videos are free. I have a sixteen month old daughter and right now I really want to pluck out a few songs for her. (Eventually, I hope to play for me, maybe a little Coldplay if I'm lucky.)

In each section, you'll see two lessons at the top of the page. Those are your free lessons. 2 per section, meaning there is about 75 sections so that's your 150 free.
I didn't learn that until I became a bandwidth user.

The Hal Leonard Method is great for learning to read music and learning to play individual notes in the melody.
