You should get lessons...teaching yourself is so hard. There are people who have been tryin to teach themselves for 10 years and they never truly learn. Just spend the extra money and get some help.
I've been playing for a 15 years or so. I taught myself. here is a good site
ultimate-guitar.com
Look at the top especially the "lesson" section. They have chord charts, scales.. and a lot of "beginning" tutorials. Hope this helps you.

Keeps it really real.
I haven't searched in a while, but I remember a year or two ago the companies that make sheet music books you can buy in stores were filing lawsuits against online tab websites that give them out for free for copywrite infringement and causing them to lose sales. That really pissed me off.
What this guys speaks is the truth. Learning by yourself can be tough. I played the bass for 8 or so years and have always been terrible becuase I never took lessons or had any help; I just played by myself. I eventually went out and bought lessonbooks and starting at music 101 learning proper notes/chords/etc and started to truly understand music beyond just replicating it. Last year I pawned my bass though.
I have a little brother that is only 14 and plays the drums, guitar and piano/keyboard. He's in 2 bands and has been playing gigs at local bars' and clubs and is currently recording his 1st album. He never took private lessons, just music class in school. I'm jealous of his talent for being so young because I started when he was still real young and he's way better then me; but it's nice to have a true musician in the family. I'm hoping he gets rich somehow.

Hey bro , you don't need a teacher. You just need to be dedicated. First thing you do is learn all of your basic chords (A,B,C etc) . Then learn Bar chords. Then start learning your sharp and flat chords etc. It is a learning process. Scales REALLY help for finger speed, and for learning your notes in general. They also help you brainstorm solos. Start learning the major scales, Then learn your minor scales, then learn blue's scales (pentatonic scales). See how this goes? Just keep progressing. Believe me I know. Use that website for help, there is a ton of stuff that will help you there.
EDIT: PM me if you need more info man, I'll help you the best I can and get you pointed in the right direction
