You're probably going to have a tougher time finding lessons for popular rock music, although there is some to be found. Your best bet though is to go out to YouTube.com and just key in "CBG Zeppelin", "CBG Stones", "cigar box ZZ Top", etc, etc.

If you want to know all the possible chords that can be played on 3-string CBG go here and download the pdf's. It's an awesome resource. If you learn these, I guess the sky is the limit:

Also, check out this guy's YouTube channel. He's teaches lots of rock stuff on CBG:

There are many chord and tab sites you can chose from, don't restrict yourself to 3 string charts, as chordings for a 6 string will work just the same on a 3, any tunes that are just major chords can be played just 1 finger barre, or slide, and you can progress from there as you learn more, i'm a poor player with little theory, but i can usually knock up something that sounds pretty close, i've linked 1 site that's pretty easy to navigate, and often gives a simplified tab or chord chat alongside a more detailed one
