i'd say try to teach yourself and get some basic knowledge before taking lessons otherwise you'll likely get bored. you could also develop bad habits too, though. just remember to use all your fingers and playing along with songs help so you can develop a sense of timing. just learn to play songs you like, work on timing, fingering, etc, and then get some lessons and learn some theory and stuff like that. the main thing is that the more you play the better you will become.
dejayou30 Reviewed by dejayou30 on . Want to start playing guitar. For the longest time I've wanted to start playing guitar, but I've never found the time. But I also don't really know where to begin. I'd rather teach myself to play than get lessons. Just would like to hear any suggestions about some good beginner tabs and other general tips and whatnot. Rating: 5
