Try searching around the internet. Besides finding helpful websites, I’m sure you can find all kinds of good things on YouTube.

Alright tabs are read upside down. Whereas the top line on the tab represents the high e string (bottom string on your guitar). Basically upside down guitar strings on the tabs. The numbers on the tabs represent which fret to place your fingers on.
—2——————— Bottom string
—3—————
—2———————
———————–
————————
———————— Top string

On the tab above it says put a finger on your bottom string at the 2nd fret, another on the next string up 3rd fret, and 2nd fret again on the next string up. That is the d chord by the way. When the numbers are directly above eachother you play them as a whole all at once (like above). If there spaced out you play them one at a time.

josh answers:

Have you tried learning guitar online? If not you don’t have the right to say that “they don’t work.” There are some good free online guitar sites if you just look and try ‘em out.

I came across a good page from a very good website:

http://www.cyberfret.com/first-fret/index.php

If you’re the visual learner buy Teach Yourself Visually Guitar. I have that book and it’s a great reference in addition to lessons.

I’m at a loss for piano.

Try youtube. Watch the videos. Or try ultimate-guitar.com and try to read the tabs. Its not too hard to figure out.
