No it's a program. You can download guitar tabs to it, and it shows you how to play the song in real time with the song itself. It also notates it "musically", or with sheet music for you as well. You can also tab your songs and play along to them, or you can use it to practice licks, like a metronome. I've learned countless solos with it. It's really easy, and it really, really helps. I'll try and find you the file and I can send it to you so you don't have to pay for it, and then I'll give you a site that uses Guitar Pro tabs for versions of songs. Usually the guitar pro tabs are much more accurate than regular tabs too. Win win combo. I'll send it to you when I have the chance.
Here's a site for some licks you can get started on.
Here's the first one. Read each link on the page and listen to the ones that sound the most interesting to you. If you like how it sounds, learn it! A lot of the lessons come with tab, and he plays it slow too.

Here's Paul Gilbert. He's one of my favorite guitarists and he's a god basically... he does amazing videos that can teach you a lot, especially for rock or blues. He mainly plays metal and class rock though, but the concepts he teaches you are used across many styles.

Here's a video on pinch harmonics (sequels). You've probably heard these before but had 0 idea how to play them. Very cool if used right. You might think it's for metal, but a TON of rock players, classic and hard rock, use these technique. Very cool and not hard at all:

Well that's some things to get you started. Probably a lot and it will take you a while to get through everything. Most of these videos I would just watch first. If you want help with anything, whether it's how to play something, or you need help learning something, let me know. Also if you want help finding things, or these videos are doing you no good, just let me know.
