I thought I'd offer a word of advice on reading music. More accurately, I guess it would be advice on 'learning' to read music. Personally I believe that anyone that loves the guitar and wants to learn to play as well as his or her abilities permit, should learn to read music.
I've had the discussion on whether learing to read music is a must, on more than one occasion. If memory serves me, it's usually the players that never bothered to learn to read music that are the ones that believe there's no real reason to learn.
Please don't misinterpret what my point is on the matter. Learning to read music is not a mandatory step in becoming an accomplished guitarist. I'll be the first to admit that. There are many, many very fine players that can't read a note of music notation. I would guess that most do read TAB, but I'm sure that many just play totally by ear.
I learned to read music when I was quite young and played the clarinet (read nerd) in school. It's something I've always looked back on and thought how glad I was that I pursued music, even though I ended my clarinet career after just a couple of years or so. I started playing guitar soon after, and although I was an impressionable young teenager, and taken with the hot guitar slingers of the time...Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck...well you know the group, I ended up taking classical guitar lessons where my music reading ability would serve me well.
I didn't take classical lessons for very long, but I learned a lot, and a lot of what I learned carries over to playing the guitar in general, not just classical guitar. Had I not known how to read music when I started the lessons, I would have learned but a fraction of what I did, just because I would have had to basically start at the beginning.
So, if you're one of the guys or girls that believe you don't need to learn to read music to play guitar well, you're right...you don't NEED to. However, if you're avoiding it because maybe it looks confusing and difficult, well that's not a reason to not learn something. I can promise you that after you learn to read music, it's something that you'll always be glad you did. I also know that it can open up new areas of your playing that you may have never explored before. You might find that you have a love, and even a tremendous ability for the classical guitar.
As this site progresses, although it will probably be a rather slow growth because of my limited time and other obligations, I plan on posting free guitar lessons, and I'll be sure to include some on reading music, at least for the guitar (treble clef). However, don't wait for me, there's tons of resources out there now, many free, to help you to learn to read music. I've included a few links on this page for some products that I KNOW can be very beneficial in your musical education.
This is a link to MusicNotes.com's 'Guitar Guru'. This is a fabulous product. It has some great (free) software that allows you to watch the song being played, and let's you loop, slow down or manipulate the playback in whatever way you need to in order to learn the song (the solo too). Man I wish I would have had this growing up. I guess it wouldn't have done much good though, there was no PC to run it on. 
Guitar Guru also lets you print the full sheet music of the song you purchase. They come complete with ALL the guitar parts....including solos. This will aid in helping you to read music, but you'll want to take a look at many of MusicNotes' other resources if you're starting to read from scratch. They have tons of books, methods, CDs, DVDs, just click on the GG button and that'll get you to their site. I've been a member there for several years and I can tell you that they have lots, LOTS of music products for many instruments...including voice. Oh, they also have more sheet music that you could ever imagine, so when you get reading proficientally, there will be all the music that you could ever want.
