First ask yourself what you actually want from learning to play. If it is just to learn a few licks then as said above, you tube the song your looking to play. ( but don't forget you may be watching a player with years of ability) If you want to become a musician then a teacher is a very good way, mostly because of their ability to slow you down to learning at a pace that is right for you, not what you "think" is right for you. learning to play an instrument is the same as any other learning process, your body and mind have to be conditioned to it slowly. Rush at it and you'll soon be discouraged and it'll become just another ornament in the attic.
