Guitars are played an octave lower than written so you should use
\clef "treble_8"
for writing them and write the notes one octave lower (possibly aided by
the \transpose function).
If you used LilyPond only for 2 days it might have been worthwhile
looking at examples for guitar notation in the manual.
