I've been playing the guitar for about 6 years and I teach flamenco and jazz music in my city.
One suggestion I give you if you wish to learn how to play the guitar is:
No matter what kind of music you want to play, always play in standard tuning.
Unless you understand the shapes of variations on the guitar neck it's futile to learn songs in different tuning than standard.
If you just can't help yourself and have to do it try starting slow, by this I mean that you learn a song and then tune one string differently and you try playing it in that tuning. Then you tune the next string... etc
Granted this will take some time so here's an easier solution to your problem:
Take the tab of the song you want to learn and put it in guitar pro or whatever. Then have the program rewrite the song in standard tuning. Chances are most bands change the tuning so they make the song easier to play so you will probably have a little trouble playing it.
Best of luck
