Thank you in advance!

Get an electric guitar tuner. Then all you have to do is plug the guitar into it and lights on the box will tell you when you are in tune. It might be worth it to take a few lessons early on because if you teach yourself bad habits early on they are hard to unlearn later. The most important lesson I remember from early on is to press the frets with the very tips of my fingers and hold them a vertical to the fretboard as possible. You avoid a lot of unintentional adjacent string muffling that way.

No offense, but you've got to be kidding, right? You're expecting to get better in A COUPLE OF DAYS!!? Instant gratification and true musicianship do not go hand in hand, bro'. First off, I just HOPE that you took up guitar because there was a true calling, not something like, "I think I'll learn guitar." Secondly, like anything else that requires dedication, learning the guitar is a life-long process, man. Sorry for the flames. If you really want it, keep at it. If you keep at it, your skills will increase. It will also help LOADS to find someone more advanced and patient to give you tips (like tuning the thing); you'll be trading licks in no time. Learn your basic chords first - that's my advice. A song book or even a DVD (there's good ones out there) will prove invaluable.
