I suck at soldering!

What's so hard about it? Apply the heat only briefly, just enough to melt away a little of the solder, pull away the solder, let it spread on the pad and withdraw the soldering iron. It's all over in less than a second and then you go on to the next contact. Just don't keep frying the board eternally and keep adding solder, nothing really to it.

Try this book. As DD said, its down to the correct iron, but in additon good heat, and for electical work a specialized flux cored solder - regular flux will corode your joints and cause them to come apart. Keep all surfaces including the iron tip clean.
