No...I don't use them, but the sites are full of them.
Try on this site or take a look at Garry J Smith's site he has tutorials.
Also Simmers Paint Shop.
If you can crack your problems you won't look back...it will be fun all the way but I appreciate that at first when thing go wrong it's not much fun.
Get up and running with the guides and later when you get a specific problem ask here

It's a bit hard to offer advice when the problems are very general. That is what the tutorials are good at.......finding a specfic answer can be difficult in tutorials but fairly easy to answer here.
Remember one thing......if you get stuck we can help, not because we are clever or special it is simply because once we were starting and had all kinds of problems, that's why we know, because wew were there ourselves, so don't be put off if at first you don't succeed
