I play drums and other percussion instruments. I can read music and I have a small understanding of how tabs work.

I think you have a good head start =) - since you already have experience with drums and percussion, you’ll have a better sense of rhythm, which is really important when you play bass. Reading music will also help a lot, though a knowledge of tabs isn’t vital. Go for it! =)

Good luck =)
Cheers

This beginner’s package includes a Sequoia acoustic guitar, gig bag, strap, strings, guitar pick and the eMedia Guitar Method CD-ROM. This beautiful Sequoia guitar is made from the finest woods. The top of the guitar is where 90% of the tone quality and sound come from. High quality guitars like this Sequoia guitar use a spruce top for durability and acoustic quality. This Spruce top gives it a warm, full sound. The polished finish allows the attractive wood grain to show through. It features an attractive pearl-colored highlight around the sound hole. You usually only find this kind of styling and attention to detail on guitars costing hundreds of dollars more. The fingerboard gets a lot of usage with fingers pressing down on it constantly. That is why Sequoia guitars choose to use durable rosewood for this part of the guitar. eMedia Guitar Method is the world’s best-selling beginning guitar CD-ROM! 155 comprehensive lessons cover everything from the basics through chord strumming, playing melodies and fingerpicking. Includes over 30 videos and over three hours of audio from guitar instructor Kevin Garry, Ph.D. Learning guitar is made fun through familiar hit songs by artists like Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead and Steve Miller.

I’m starting to learn and was wondering what chords I should learn to play in succession to help me become faster with my fingers. Also, if there are any web sites that would help, please let me know. Thanks…

Guitar Hero baby! That probably wont teach you how to play, but you’ll have fun!

I love to sing and write songs, but to be successful in any way I will need to learn either guitar or piano, and seeing that I already own a guitar, I hope to learn that. I need suggestions, cuz whenever I pick it up I just get frustrated or bored trying to learn chords. I need help!

You need motivation for sure.

There are many ways.
If you’d like to accomplish it with someone you could
a) Hire a music teacher
b) Enlist the help of someone you know that plays guitar that you know you could get along with.

If you’d like to accomplish it on your own, there are many ways
a) Online. You may have to pay a fee, but you could do it on your own time in your own schedule [[you'd need the motivation to stick to it]]
b) Buy a book..but most likely that’ll bore you
c) Get a video.
d) Figure it out on your own, or with a group of people.

Good luck!
