no fruity loops is a good program to start with. I use Sonar 3 but it's VERY ADVANCED and I wouldn't recommend it for someone who has been producing any less then 2 years. The one thing that helped me out a lot was getting a keyboard (a midi controller will do as well if you dont have the $$) and taking Piano/theory classes.. so that means learn scales.. major, minor.. etc etc..

aside from that read up on production teqniques in the production forum and experiment, experiment, experiment!.. it was about a year before I came out with a track that was BARELY listenable..

Guitar lessons are to rock and blues what piano lessons are to electronica, classical, and rap...

although guitar lessons will help, keyboard will help a lot as well...

as for a keyboard.. if you dont have a lot of money get a midi controller since a good keyboard will cost at least $600

Fruityloops is good to start with, I'm still a newb when it comes to create good music, but I'm learning quite fast though...hope to be able to show my talents soon

Don't buy a keyboard if you don't know how to use it, I'm on a course for piano and it really helps alot when creating nice tunes and melodies. When you feel that you know almost everything in FL, try something even more advanced... just a tip.
