Nice that you have a new hobby. Hope you will feel all the rewards playing can give you. Remmeber, only practice will make you better. I've been playing for 12 years. There are many good books for learning guitar. Take time to learn the basics. There is a good book from Troy Stetina called "Speed Mechanics" It is basicly more advance book. But, don't be fulled by the title. It is NOT about shreding and stupidly fast parts with no sense. This book is about how you learn new things, how to make your own exercises to overcame hard parts. That is far more immportant than just to learn tom play very fast.
Don'y just learn to read tabs, learn to read notes. And offcorse, try to play some tunes by ear. It IS immportant.
Get the metronom from the very begining and always, always play in with sens for the rhythm!
Good luck with playing.
