Don't ever use the excuse that your fingers are too "fat" or "big" to play properly. I've had friends who quit because they realize their hand size won't change. Flexibility is the problem, not the fatness of the fingers.

It won't teach you how to read tabs but tabs are very similar and just visually simple. The thing is that there are good lessons that will teach you all the basics about various guitar techniques and concepts in a gaming type way that will help you train them.
I was going to mention this. My buddy brought it over the other day and we messed around with it. He claimed there was a little lag and that made it difficult... I didn't notice much lag at all, so there's a chance the lag he was experiencing was due to the fact he's a beginner.

I didn't find it fun at all, but I did find it useful. If you're just starting out I think it's a great resource.
