The best, and possibly the only, way to learn guitar is to find a qualified guitar teacher and be patient. It is not something that will happen overnight. A qualified teacher can give you feedback that no book or online resource can give. The books and online resources are excellent forms of information, but you must have a teacher to be able to give you feedback on your playing, posture, musicality, etc. Good luck!!

You are correct in saying that anyone can teach themselves how to play the guitar. However, there is a difference between a guitar player and a musician. Not every person who plays guitar, whether self taught or taught by a teacher, is a musician. In my PROFESSIONAL opinion, the majority of self taught guitarists are guitar players and NOT musicians.
