Self Taught or Tutored??

It really depends on how you learn. If you can teach yourself something without having it shown to you first, then you're capable to teach yourself an instrument. If not, get lessons.

i agree here, if ur startin completely from scratch its good to have someone teachin u, it might not have to be proper instructions, just from someone whos bin playin a fair while, but it just depends on the person i reckon. some peopl can do it on their own, some do better with instruction. best off just findin which u find easier. i personally think learnin the guitars easyer on ur own. but good luck neway mate

ive alwayse thought learning the basics of something is better tought by someone experienced, but if u jus take the time to teach urself, ull have a more unique style. but everyone learns better different ways. some need it showed to em, some are better if they read on it an do it on their own, some are better if its explained to them. it jus depends on the way ur better at learning. but being able to ask others fer help is alwayse a very good quality.
