when i started learning guitar almost 3 years ago i learnt the entire enema of the state album by blink 182. this helped alot because 3 months later i was writing my own punk songs from the 'blink chords'. after that i started learning simple metallica like the riff from the unforgiven and after bout 8 months i could paly all of enter sandman and bluff my way through the solo as my accuracy wasnt perfect. i also found a site called www.wholenote.com . itz totally free and its basically an online guitar teacher. hopefully this has helped u out. keep playing! keep practising whenever you can.
