electric sound is easy, look for power chords online , distort then rock, it's awful but good fun, go, go, go.

Too right for a quick fix learn smoke on the water and eye of tiger, loads of distortion to hide the slightly off cords until you get the hang of them.
Only started playing this weekend on the electric after playing acoustic for 6 months but had great fun, its very different and a different satisfaction but I do prefer acoustic.
When you feel more adventurous move onto Seven Nation Army and some Nirvana smells like team spirit and really rock!
As for books I use the Complete rock guitarist DVD with Peter Finlay, its gets you playing straight away and you learn some great songs / riffs in the process.
