Thats a fun song to play. I got started a few weeks ago with playing that, and got probably 90% of the song before I got distracted.
There is a website called vanderbilly.com that has videos of how to play rock songs on guitar - they have a video for that song, you should go check it out.

Well i'll repeat it one last time because i feel it got hosed out for some reasons, any original composers in here with a myspace page or reverbnation or such page aside from me?
Playing covers is fun but i prefer making originals, im quite sure i aint alone being this way? *LOL*

Personally I never bother with playing original songs. Pretty much gave up on that 20 years ago. But I still jam and improvise sometimes, not anything that I would ever bother to try and record and put on myspace or anything like that. I have a few "songs" that I've made up - mostly just some catchy riff that caught my ear so I put some funny lyrics with it to make the kids laugh. You know songs about farts.... silly stuff. I wouldn't really call that a song because for the most part I make it up as I go along keeping the kids entertained.

Ok, im pretty much on the opposite side of the scale, never found much fun in playing covers except for when having something people will recognize to play besides a campfire with buddies or something like that.

The best guitar players got to be the best from covering other people's songs though.
If you want to get good, you've got to copy from other people.
There is the other side to it.

My take on it is that there are simply two types of musicians, ones who find it more rewarding to learn and play covers, and others like me who are more inclined into composing originals.
If "Insert any known guitarist here" had spent all his life just playing covers, he would have never became who he is now.
It's like sculpting, painting or any other art form, the need to create something of your own instead of just reproducing existing stuff.
