With the internet there is so much material to reference regarding learning your instrument.
I've been invited to a friends wedding and know that a guitar will be passed around the residents' bar once the day is coming to a close. I know that very few people would want to hear my Rush instrumental song being beaten out of an old acoustic guitar so, I'm now trying to learn a few '3 chord wonders'. You know the type of song I mean? something for everyone to sing along to... a song very easy to play and one that everone knows the words to the chorus, at least.
There's a great site I stumbled upon.

Here you can check the list of some great songs which have been easily arranged to learn on your guitar.
There's a good range too. It's not just The Beatles. There are Plain White T's, Coldplay and White Stripes, too.
Two other great resources are iTunes and of course YouTube.
There are a good selection of free and paid short video clips in iTunes which you can subscribe to and work with. YouTube is a great site and there are thousands of clips. You know the drill put "learn guitar" in the search window and you'll have enough content to keep you occupied for hours!.
If you've 9minutes 22seconds to spare have a listen to the Rush track I'm still trying to get under my belt!

Everyone has ‘a song’ that just does ‘it’ for them, don’t they? “La Villa Strangiatto” by ‘70’s band Rush is mine. It’s a 9min 22sec instrumental. I can NOT play it but 1 day I will. This song is why I’m trying to learn guitar properly, doing it right, taking my time. Because it’s for me. For the deep intrinsic satisfaction of doing something tough and beautiful at the same time. The song moves me on many levels. You may not like this one but everyone has one don't they?
