If you have the financial means, don’t hesitate to take some lessons, even if it’s only for a month or two as you’re getting started. A good teacher can help you identify bad habits early so you can learn faster. YouTube is an incredible resource, but it can’t replace someone physically showing you what to do.
The best thing for your bucks would be "group lessons" with 2-4 students. You can check if there is a music school offering adult beginner classes. You pay less per lessons, teacher earns more, so they're less likely to drop you as soon as they have another project. And (not directly at the beginer level) you can play with other students like one plays the chord, the other the melody.
On the other hand, you loose in flexibility both in term of time-slot and lessons plan.
