Congratulations!
I bought an RG560 in 1989...it's still my lone guitar. It's seen a LOT of abuse in outdoor gigging, etc. It's a tough sucker and very flexible with different types of music. I changed the pickups a couple years back to beef up the sound.

I need a way to learn fast. I was using the olga tab files and I wanted to get my first song down. I've owned and sold guitars but never had time to really learn. I want to learn now! HELP.

Mindcore is partially right, if you're not playing things you're interested in, then it'll be a short-lived affair. The best thing to do is strike a balance, just like with anything else, you don't want to practice all the time, nor do you want to just "play" all the time, you must maintain a balance to be successful.
Also keep in mind that a little hard work up front will go a long way in the end, my recommendation is that you play what you want, but practice just as much as you play, and always be conscious of your technique (the way you're doing things).
Good technique will allow things to be much easier for you in the end, but will certainly make things more difficult in the beginning, it's a trade off. Some of my students will never be able to play as fluid or as fast as I can because their technique is bad and it poses a problem for them. There are exceptions to every rule, but don't count on being one.

raj, that site is free..
guy, you are absolutly right, you have to work on technique as well, no doubt..
Playing your favourite songs doesn't feel like work though. take a break from playing guitar...by playing guitar
