Welcome to Guitar tricks! the guitar is an amazing instrument...electric and acoustic guitar. You'll have a blast at this site. I use to have full access to the site awhile ago but with that deal going on I'll get the full access again.
Practice 30-45 minutes a day and sooner than later you'll really start to progress. Also, learn as many scales as you can (with a metronome) as that will help build up finger speed and strength.
Have fun making music!
