I am new to mixing and don't really know what "bouncing" means, but form what I gather it is combining all of the stuff you want into one track that you can apply fx to. Is there any difference between doing this and putting the tracks under a parent track and applying the effects to that?
Is "bouncing" tracks in Reaper the same thing as putting it under a group?

Not really, ctrl+alt+b has the option to record the output until stop which is useful for printing entire submixes' fx, as some plugs don't like it when they're rendered offline at higher-than-realtime speeds. also good for wet tracks and popping out a rough mix on the fly.

Sounds like shit!
'Bouncing' comes from when you had to record your track with fx to another track in order to free up your original track and the fx track - it's committing the processed track to tape. In the digital domain, it's rendering/freezing etc where you end up with a processed track rather than a track with plugins running on it.
So basically I would add fx to the guitar tracks and make them sound how I want, then render that out and bring it into the final mix so that it doesn't have to calculate all the fx for the guitar tracks?

Sorta. All bouncing really means is that when your finished with your project, you will "bounce" it, meaning reaper will take everything that you have done and make it into one .wav file so you can listen to it. SO all bouncing means is just smashing everything you have done (fx, eq, etc.) into one audio file.
