Zax, welcome. I found your silvertone, a pretty nice guitar, and you love probably hardrock and metal.
I play for 30 years, and reading tabs is not my biggest skill. A great site is www.youtube.com I looked there and yes, they show you how to play the song. There are different approaches. I am ashamed because I have it difficult with tabs. I am quit impatient, that's the cause.
A few years ago, there was not much information, so I have a lot of books. Every single day I promess to read tabs and worse to add a song.
You have choices, private lessons, on line lessons. What's the best? If it was me, I should try first on line, and very important is: play along with a CD.

- MY GUITAR PLAYS EVERY STYLE = BLUES, ROCK, METAL, so I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY IT.
