read up on guitar tableture.. and learn all the chords. thats a must for guitar players.
also work on your finger strength (meaning, how you hold your fingers on the strings) its really hard, and it hurts really bad lol. playing the guitar is not for the weak.
also work on getting calluses. when you get those, your fingers dont hurt anymore :)
but trust me.. theyll hurt for a while. ive been learning the guitar for like half a year.. and i only know a few songs. but its worth it. and its really fun.
heres a few easy songs you can look up, if you want a quick song to learn:
come as you are - nirvana
brainstew - greenday
have fun :)

A lot of people fall at the first hurdle by wanting to do too much too soon and get totally frustrated and the instrument eventually finishes up in the cupboard gathering dust. If you can get hold of a elementary book of simple guitar tunes and just practice a little at a time master a tune before beginning the next. It always helps if you have a friend who is like minded and you both practice together, it will come in time.

If you can afford it, take lessons. If you can't afford lessons, get some guitar instruction books (or even dvds) and practice, practice, practice.
Most important....don't give up. It will be hard at first, but the more you learn, the easier it is to learn.

A man hunting for Carniege Hall in New York asked an elderly gentleman how to get there--the old man looked up --thought for a moment--then said-----Practice--lots and lots of practice-----this same answer applys here as well........
