So i was thinking about buying an electric guitar not to get into a band or anything just to learn how to play some songs for fun. The thing is I dont have the time or money for lessons. So do you guys think I could learn how to play decently by just looking at guides and such on the internet?sillybunzz

I started two years ago or so, and I learned completely by myself. It's a very fun hobby and I highly encourage you to get into it.

I started the Guitar Players Union. This isn't recruitment, but you can go there to ask questions if you want, there is a forum thread just for guitar help and questions. Feel free to drop by. I'm happy to help out as well

As for learning, you can take online (video lessons) at www.nextlevelguitar.com , the instructor is David Taub and he's an excellent teacher very charismatic, and really motivates you. I've taken structured lessons in school, taught myself a lot, and paid for a year membership to that site. They all have pros and cons, and over the course of your life it will all just add up. But I highly recommend that site, David's teaching stile is very accessible. It's for anyone, from learning your string names all the way up to sweep picking arpeggios etc.. beginner to advanced, its all there.

Anyway, pm me if you have questions, or stop by the union forum, either way good luck on your guitar journey.

Lessons are good, but not a necessity. My friend is self taught and he is an absolute maniac at the guitar.
