To be honest, youtube has some pretty good tutorials. But they are kind of hard to see in that point of view. Go to a music store and buy Melbay's Guitar Methods. It taught me the basics fast and easy.

When it comes to tabs:

Example:

E-----0-------------
G-3-3---3-1---------
B-----------2-0-----
D-------------------
A-------------------
E-------------------

Example of chords:
E---3---2--------
G-------3----1---
B-------2--------
D----------------
A---2--------2---
E---3--------3---

The first note would be the 3rd fret on the G string, and it would repeat (the second note). The third note would be no fingers on the string, the fourth would be the same as the first, and so on. I can't really explain chords, but when they are together, like in the example, that means you hold them down at the same time. The tempo or rhythm of the song can't really be expressed on tabs, so you have to know it on your own. (Listening to the song helps understand the music, and you can match up the chords or notes with the actual song).
I hope this helps.
